(Adnkronos) – Donald Trump has temporarily suspended the delivery of all US military aid to Ukraine. The New York Times reports, citing US officials and officials. The decision, after last Friday’s clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a series of meetings between the President of the United States and national security officials, was also confirmed by a White House official to CNN.
“The President has been clear, he is focused on peace – the source said – Our partners need to commit to achieving this goal. We are suspending and reviewing our aid to ensure that this contributes to a solution”. According to sources from the American network, the break will concern all military equipment not yet arrived in Ukrainian territory.
Fox News, citing a senior official, confirmed that this is a pause, which also concerns weapons in transit or already in Poland, and not a definitive suspension. The New York Times, like CNN, reports that support for Kiev will resume when Trump believes he has ascertained Ukraine’s good faith commitment to peace negotiations with Russia, which on February 24 three years ago triggered the conflict with the invasion on a large scale of Ukraine. The newspaper specifies that the decision concerns weapons and ammunition worth over a billion dollars.
