Trump halts military aid to Ukraine

U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, a senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg on March 3, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.

According to the official, all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

According to the source, this concerns the suspension of deliveries of American military equipment that is not currently in Ukraine, including weapons transiting through Poland. Trump gave the order to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“This is not a permanent end to aid, it is a pause,” a representative of the presidential administration clarified to Fox News.
