U.S. President Donald Trump has halted all military aid to Ukraine.
Reuters, citing a White House official, reported that Donald Trump stopped sending military equipment to Ukraine to ensure assistance is focused on ending the conflict there.
The White House official told Reuters, “President Trump has made it clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to this goal as well. We are halting and reviewing our assistance to ensure it is contributing to a solution.”
The decision by the U.S. president to stop military aid to Ukraine deepens the divide between the two countries.
Last week, during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump stated that Ukraine must accept a peace agreement with Russia, or else the U.S. will halt military aid to Ukraine.
