Donald Trump has taken major action against Ukraine. After a three -day argument with Trump at the White House, the US has announced to suspend military assistance to Ukraine. According to a report by Bloomberg, this order has come into force with immediate effect. The assistance not yet reached Ukraine from the US has also been stopped.
According to a White House official, the assistance stopped to Ukraine will not be restored until President Trump is convinced that Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelanski really wants peace. Neither the US Department of Defense nor the President Trump made any comment on suspending military assistance to Ukraine.
Bloomberg quoted an official of the Defense Department as saying that President Trump is reviewing whether Zelancesi is trying to establish peace with Russia. An official of the Trump administration said that the aid has not been closed permanently. With the help of stopped, weapons and ammunition assistance can cause a loss of $ 1 billion. They were to be transported to Ukraine soon.
This assistance has also been stopped after Trump’s order, which Ukraine can only use to buy more military hardware directly from US defense companies. There has been no response from President Zelanski on the suspension of US aid.
Foreign affairs expert Mark Cansion said that the closure of American aid means that Ukraine’s strength is now half. Its effect will start appearing in 2 to 4 months. At the moment, Ukraine will remain in war for some time with the help of European countries. He said that this decision means that Ukraine will now have to accept the peace agreement under any circumstances. The canian warned that the Trump administration may also adopt other ways to weaken Ukraine.
