President Donald Trump has announced that all military aid to Ukraine will be paused post hence.
According to Fox News, the pause will include weapons that are already in transit or waiting in Poland. The pause comes only days after Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky had a heated conversation in the Oval Office with Vice President J.D. Vance.
Vance told Zelenskyy that he was not working toward peace and was standing in the way of bringing about the end of the war that has cost lives and billions of American taxpayer dollars.

Trump released a statement on social media in the aftermath of a heated exchange that turned into a shouting match between Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday at the Oval Office.
“We had a very meaningful meeting at the White house today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure,” Trump said in his statement. “It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.”
Trump noted that the time has come for the war to end and to have peace restored.
“I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace,” he added.
