Direct quote from NYT: "The Biden administration considered the military assistance to Kyiv amounting to $67 billion, which it provided to Kyiv, as significant. Trump views any further assistance as a leverage for pressure."
Details: Following a dispute in the Oval Office on Friday, a Trump administration representative stated that the president could decide to halt even indirect support for Ukraine provided by the U.S., which includes other forms of military funding, intelligence sharing, training for Ukrainian military personnel and pilots, as well as the establishment of an international aid management center at an American military base in Germany.
On Friday, the Trump administration representative announced that all American assistance to Ukraine—including the latest shipments of ammunition and equipment authorized and funded during the Biden administration—could be canceled soon.
The publication notes that according to data from the Kiel Institute, European countries have allocated $138 billion for Ukraine's military operations compared to $119 billion in military and humanitarian aid from the U.S.
Why this matters: Among other things, intelligence sharing is crucial for alerting about air raids in the event of ballistic threats. Additionally, U.S. satellite imagery is one of the most important sources of information.
Training for Ukrainian military personnel, including pilots, is also vital for the Ukrainian army.
What preceded this: The Washington Post reported that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of halting all current military aid shipments to Ukraine.
Reminder: In the White House, Zelensky, Trump, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance argued on Friday in front of cameras and in raised voices regarding the war in Ukraine.
Prior to this, Trump also stated in a meeting with President Zelensky that he supports both Ukraine and Russia.
Zelensky showed Trump a photo of Ukrainian prisoners who were held captive by Russia during their meeting.
