ukraine - Following the Oval Office dispute between Zelenski and Trump, the US President suspends all military aid to Ukraine as a response.
US Suspends Arms Shipment to Ukraine
President Trump ordered to halt all military aid to Ukraine as a response to the recent Oval Office altercation with President Zelenski.
All Shipments Halted
Currently planned and ongoing arms shipments from Poland to Ukraine are also stopped. Biden's previous aid packages to Ukraine are mentioned, with approximately 90% of the promised weapons already delivered.
Kiev Under Pressure Strategy
White House officials state that the decision is a direct response to Zelenski's recent behavior and can be lifted if Ukraine shows commitment to negotiations for peace.
Experts' Views
American analysts suggest Ukraine can withstand a few months with its own arms production and European shipments. However, concerns arise about the loss of critical weapons like advanced air defense systems in case of prolonged halt in American aid.
