The US Government appears to be halting military aid to Ukraine, according to multiple US media outlets citing sources from the White House.
A White House spokesperson told CNN that US President Donald Trump made it clear that he prioritizes peace, stating, “We need our partners to set the same goal. We’re holding off and reevaluating our assistance to ensure it contributes to a solution.”
The reported halt applies to all military equipment that has not yet been delivered to Ukraine. According to the reports, it may take several weeks for the impact of the stop to be noticeable, as the country was recently supplied with large quantities of modern weapons.
The decision follows a crisis in the White House, where it was reported that a public dispute erupted between Trump and US Vice President JD Vance on one side and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the other. Trump had previously threatened to end all US support for Ukraine following the canceled meeting.
