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

A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.

    Guess what. War is gonna happen regardless. Except now the Ukrainians are going to have a harder time fighting back, while the russians start their pogroms.

      Right then why fund them and send people to their deaths?

      Why not just succeed a little land and sign a cease fire

        Russia will keep killing Ukrainians, so they need be forced to stop. Letting russia next it’s neighbours is a fucking stupid take. Appeasing the colonial fascist has never gone well before, and it won’t now. Ukrainians are fighting for their homes. Succeeding land like Crimea didn’t stop russia from invading so it won’t stop it again.

          It’s better to try something. What your idea is to do nothing. Great idea, let’s just continue letting people die.

            No, my idea isn’t to “do nothing”. It’s to fund and support Ukrainian sovereignty lol. No clue where the fuck you are pulling that from. You want more people to die, let russia have it’s way, way more people will die. I’m glad your comfortable with the thought of other countries just annexing territory on a whim. Fucking shit tier take

              Oh sorry, your supporting Ukraine, so they can continue the killing. What a moronic route.

              So just continue with the killing.

              That’s not doing anything differently.

              Succeeding land will stop the war.

              Make Russia sign a peace treaty with America and Ukraine for the land.

              It’s infinitely better than your idea of just continue the killing. “It’s fine”

              Brain-dead.

                Nah, I’m supporting Ukraine to defend their sovereignty. The killing can stop, russia needs to fuck back off to russia

                Ceeding the land to russia won’t stop any war, at best it will put a temporary pause until they want more, causing more pain and suffering and death.

                Make russia fuck back off to russia is the only viable option, unless you think appeasing fascist dictators is a good idea.

                Brain-dead.

                That is the only explanation as to why you said the things to say. Hey being self aware is step one. Maybe don’t victim blame.
