There has been tremendous tension in relations between the US and Ukraine. Things worsened after a sharp debate between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to reports, the debate increased so much during the meeting in the Oval Office that Jailonski was asked to leave and left America. Now Ukraine is paying the price of this quarrel, as the Trump administration has banned all military assistance to Ukraine.

According to a White House official, the decision has come into force with immediate effect. Trump says that America will only work towards peace and it will be ensured that its assistance does not promote any struggle.

Ukraine banned one billion dollar military help

According to media reports, the assistance prevented by the US includes one billion dollar weapons and ammunition, which were soon to be delivered to Ukraine.

• Ukraine needs heavy military resources to fight a war against Russia.
• Ukrainian officials say they have enough military supply left only for summer.
• If there is no new support from the US, Ukraine may face difficulties in its military campaign.

The White House official says that this decision is not permanent, but only a temporary break. However, the Trump administration has made it clear that this assistance would not be restored until Gelnsky proves that they really want peace.

Trump’s decision increased pressure on European countries

After stopping military assistance by the US, Ukraine’s help has increased on European countries.

• European countries are already providing limited amounts of military and financial assistance to Ukraine.
• Now that the US has retreated, European countries will be forced to increase their help.
• Countries like Germany, France, Britain have to ensure that Ukraine is not weak and stands firmly against Russia.

However, European countries are already concerned about security on their borders and are not looking more military assistance. In such a situation, Ukraine may face a big problem.

Is Russia getting indirect support from America?

Russia can directly benefit from the growing distance between Ukraine and the US.

• Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have good relations.
• His inclination has been more towards Russia since Trump became President again.
• However, the US will not officially help Russia, but Ukraine may indirectly strengthen Russia by preventing help.
• This can give Russia a chance to become more aggressive in war.

Experts believe that if the US draws hands with the help of Ukraine, it will be the biggest strategic victory for Russia.

Why does Ukraine and America silence?

Both the US and Ukraine are silent on this major decision of the Trump administration.

• The White House has not yet made any formal statement on it.
• The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) is also silent on this issue.
• There is no response from Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky.

Officials of the Trump administration say this is not a permanent ban, but it is not clear when this temporary ban will be lifted.
