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.

US President Donald Trump directed the US to pause all assistance to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky 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.
