The United States, as directed by Donald Trump, pause all military assistance for Ukraine. The pause applies to all planned but not yet made deliveries – in particular, under the USAID long -term support program. Looking at the latest Biden administration ads, this is the first priority of missiles to air defense, ammunition to Himars and artillery.
About it writes journalist Ostap Yarysh.
“The president clearly made it clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be given to this purpose. We suspend and view our help to make sure that it helps to solve, ”he writes with reference to the source in the Trump administration.
Last time, when Donald Trump announced the suspension of weapons for Ukraine in 2019, it eventually led to the Democrats in the House of Representatives (although the Senate later justified the President). This time, of course, both chambers of congress are controlled by Republicans.
“How are they reacting in Congress now? Senator-Democrat Gin Shagin, co-chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, published a statement: “This act of retribution against our ally, which stands for the forefront of protection of freedom and democracy, is not just shameful Dictators-killers. ” Other democrats made similar statements, ”Yarysh writes.
Instead, CNN Congressman Chip Roy said Donald Trump could stop military assistance for Ukraine earlier.
“This is what the President should do. Frankly speaking, he could do it to Friday alteration with Zelensky. The President said there are three ways: either you lose, or draw us into war, or lay a truce. And the president is right, choosing a truce. “
Other Maga-wing Republicans also greeted the decision to stop military assistance. But the party also had those who opposed such a step – including Syuzen Collins Senator, “This is a critical time for Ukraine. I don’t think we have to stop our efforts. Ukrainians spill blood … I do not give up my support of Ukraine. “
It is unclear how long the pause will be in the supply of weapons, and whether Congress may now be affected. The New York Times writes that the break will last until Donald Trump determines that Ukraine has demonstrated “fair readiness for peace talks with Russia.”
And again, we remember what Donald Trump said after a five -meeting with Zelensky. “I want an immediate ceasefire, and Zelensky wants to fight, although he has no trump. He has Trumps only with the support of America. Either you finish the war, or fighting without cards in your hands – and we will see what you will work out, ”the journalist summarized.
Recall that a few hours ago, Bloomberg wrote that Trump ordered to suspend all military assistance to Ukraine. It was, in particular, about weapons, which is on the road to our country, but has not yet come. The US President gave the head of Pentagon Pete Hegsset.
Soon in the CNN comment, the White House representative confirmed that the states stopped the assistance. He stressed that the United States needed partners to be committed to peace, like Trump.
US Vice president, Ji Di V, has confident that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will “eventually” agree to discuss peace with Russia. He noted that on Friday, the Ukrainian leader demonstrated “disrespect” during a meeting with Trump.
