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.
Edit: changed source from Bloomberg to Kyiv Independent b/c there’s no paywall and more detail in the story.
How do we know they were for ukraine to begin with? One thing is clear: they aren’t for russia so the narrative that USA is helping russia or halting operations against them doesn’t old much against the evidence.
What narrative about helping russia? If they stop supporting Ukraine, they are helping russia…
this one
It’s not a narrative though
“Narrative” has been an american conservative dog whistle for a while now, as far as I can tell.
It translates roughly to “the reported facts which should not be believed because they don’t work for MY narrative.” So basically just the usual projection. And it’s even a smart-sounding word which really helps it carry weight with dummies.
