U.S. President Donald Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine following his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, a White House official said on Monday.
„President has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution,“ said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

In other news Trump announced tariffs on Canada and Mexico with plans for tariffs on Europe as well.
And in unrelated news Trump plans lifting sanctions on Russia…

Very interesting to see what happens with European support for Ukraine now. Decades of ignoring the threat of Russia, leading stagnant economies, and refusing to create any sort of European army has left them in a bad position.
The amount of spending that will be necessary to defend Ukraine will only be possible if they massively cut social welfare programs and rapidly increase government debt. Will the European public be able to accept either of those? Will it be too little too late either way?

So the entire oval office meeting was indeed a farce to give an excuse to cut aid and move yet even closer to Russia. This coupled with Hegseth pausing all cybersecurity defense against Russia seems to impyl we are quite literally a state under the rule of Putin now as he controls our government, not the American people.

This is not official yet since the basis of the news apparently comes from an exclusive piece by Bloomberg news on condition of anonymity of a senior official in the US DoD, where they are still negotiating and talking about it with the White House.
But whether it is or not, this will put immense pressure on Ukraine and is a blatant show of force to expose the power imbalance between Ukraine and the US (and indirectly also the other European countries). The Trump administration is pressuring Zelenskyy to come back hat in hand and for him to acknowledge how little political space Ukraine has and how they are displeased about the incident last Friday. The US knows time is on their side and not on Ukraines.
This also pressures the Europeans. The US wants to make sure Zelenskyy changes tone and that the Europeans pressure him from the other side since stopping the financial and military lines this soon will put immediate pressure on Europeans to deliver additional financial and military aid.

Shameful day to be an American. Sorry world.
I can’t believe the Republican party of all people are now in bed with Russia.

Regardless of what happens in Ukraine, it’s hard to imagine a future where Trump doesn’t remove sanctions on Russia. Very interested to see if any kind of actual united opposition amongst other western countries forms against the US, be it some new economic/military alliance, sanctions on the US, etc.

China has to figure that it’s the perfect time to take Taiwan. No way Trump would work to stop it, and if he did, it would be on China’s terms.

Never trust peace with Russia, they are notoriously famous for invading, as the way they did in the past. I am 100% sure that if peace deal happens, Russia will break it, and invade Ukraine again in couple of years. Why US so naive? What a shame!
