US President Donald Trump commented on the suspension of military aid to Ukraine. In response to a question, he stated that Ukraine might not survive in any case, even if the supply of weapons continues, informs Fox News.
During an interview, Trump was asked if he could accept that Ukraine might not survive without US support. He responded as follows:
"Well, it may not survive anyway, but, you know, we have some weaknesses with Russia. You know, it takes two. Look, it was not going to happen — that war, and it happened. So now we’re stuck with this mess," Trump said.
Trump halted military aid to Ukraine
On the night of March 4, US President Donald Trump ordered a halt to all military aid to Ukraine after a conflict with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House. This included US weapons that had already been transported by air and sea, as well as those in Europe.
Additionally, the United States reduced the exchange of intelligence data that the Ukrainian armed forces could use for attacks on Russian territory. At the same time, the US continues to share data that can help Ukraine defend itself.
Moreover, NBC News reported today that Trump will not resume aid to Ukraine even after an agreement on mineral resources is signed. In addition to this agreement, he wants to see changes in Zelenskyy's stance on peace talks, particularly his readiness for territorial concessions.
