The US has paused all military aid to Ukraine, dealing a major blow to Kyiv and its allies. President Donald Trump’s decision could weaken Ukraine’s defence against Russia. The US had previously supplied advanced weapons like Patriot missiles and HIMARS. European nations now provide most of Ukraine’s aid, but they cannot fully replace US support. Intelligence sharing and equipment maintenance may also be affected. Experts believe Trump wants to push Ukraine into peace talks. European leaders hope the pause is temporary, as Ukraine struggles to defend itself without US help.
