STORYLINE:
Ukrainians woke up on Tuesday to news that the Trump administration has paused military aid for their fight against Russia’s invasion, days after a disastrous Oval Office row that has deepened a rift between Kyiv and the White House.
Kyiv’s Independence Square appeared quiet on Tuesday morning after U.S. President Donald Trump directed his government to pause all assistance to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in peace talks with Russia.
The decision appears to halt arms deliveries approved under the Biden administration, but it was not clear whether deliveries of ammunition for weapons systems already in Ukraine would be affected.
Kyiv has feared the possibility of aid being stopped to Ukraine ever since Trump took office, and the U.S.-Ukraine relationship has taken a downturn in recent weeks as Trump’s team launched bilateral talks with Russia over the war in Ukraine and Trump’s demeanor toward Zelenskyy has become increasingly dismissive.
Still, Trump said on Monday that he is still interested in signing a deal that would hand over a share of Ukraine’s minerals to the United States, an agreement that Zelenskyy has also said he is ready to sign.
