US military aid to Ukraine: A political bargaining chip
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 Ukraine has relied on US military assistance to help defend itself But under Trump, this aid has become increasingly uncertain
The Trump administration abruptly paused military support and intelligence sharing last week after a heated exchange between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky days earlier, blocking the delivery of battle tanks, long-range missiles and air defense systems already en route through Poland
The decision, framed as an effort to push Ukraine into peace negotiations with Russia, was widely seen as a concession to Moscow
The halt in military aid left Ukraine vulnerable at a critical moment, as Russian forces launched new offensives and delicate peace negotiations were ongoing
Ukrainian officials warned that without continued US support, their ability to resist further Russian advances was at significant risk
