Summary
President Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine following a tense meeting with President Zelenskyy, demanding a stronger commitment to peace. This decision halts previously approved arms deliveries and raises concerns among Ukrainians relying on U.S. help against Russia. U.S. arms, including critical Patriot systems, are pivotal for Ukraine's defense. Despite the withdrawal, some contracted arms shipments may still proceed. Responses from Ukrainian officials and soldiers highlight fears of increased Russian aggression, while Democrats and European allies urge the U.S. to reverse the aid pause and reaffirm support for Ukraine.
