The United States of America has stopped military aid to Ukraine, according to multiple news sources to Stone News Network.
This could be attributed to the recent meeting between President Zelenskyy and President Trump. The meeting ended up with loud voices and President Zelenskyy was escorted out of the Oval Office.
"President Trump has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution," said the official on Monday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The White House had no immediate comment on the scope and amount of aid affected or how long the pause would last. The Pentagon could not provide further details.
Zelenskiy's office did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment nor did the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington.
On Monday, Trump again said Zelenskiy should be more appreciative of American support after earlier responding angrily to an Associated Press report quoting Zelenskiy as saying the end of the war is "very, very far away."
"This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, using an alternative spelling of the Ukrainian leader's name.
The White House had indicated they were hopeful for peace between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump has said he will talk with President Zelenskyy when he is ready to make a deal.
