President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered the suspension of the delivery of weapons to Kiev
US President Donald Trump has instructed the Defense Department to pause all military aid to Ukraine following his public spat with Vladimir Zelensky, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing a senior Pentagon official.
According to the news agency, the freeze affects the equipment already designated for delivery, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships or waiting in transit areas in Poland.
The suspension will stay in place until Trump sees that the Ukrainian leaders “demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace,” Bloomberg said, citing a Pentagon official.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Monday that Washington has stopped funding new weapons sales to Ukraine and was considering freezing weapons shipments.
Trump has repeatedly accused Zelensky of undermining his efforts to broker a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow.
President Trump paused all military aid to Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.
The pause will halt all military aid that is currently in transit to Ukraine.
Earlier Monday Trump said he has absolutely had it with Zelensky digging in his heels and refusing to come to the table to a peace agreement with Russia.
Zelensky does not want peace with Russia and President Trump has absolutely had it.
Trump responded to Zelensky’s claim the end of war with Russia 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! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?” Trump said on Truth Social.
Later Monday it was reported that a completely fed up Trump has paused all military aid – including the aid in transit – to Ukraine.
Zelensky did not come to the White House last Friday to make peace. He came to continue the war so he can keep siphoning money from the US.

President Trump responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s latest statement on his war with Russia.
Zelensky does not want peace with Russia and President Trump has absolutely had it.
Trump responded to Zelensky’s claim the end of war with Russia 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! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?” Trump said on Truth Social.
Zelensky made the remarks after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced he’s ready to send troops to Ukraine and encouraged Europe – and the US – to jump into World War III against Russia, a nuclear power.
The UK on Sunday announced it would send Ukraine a measly $2 billion in military aid (compared to the US’s $350 billion+) after the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office blow-up.
“Britain’s Ministry of Defence said Thales (TCFP.PA), will manufacture the lightweight-multirole missiles for Ukraine. Thales said the missiles have a range of more than 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) and they can be fired from a variety of platforms on land, sea, and air,” Reuters reported.
“The UK is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air to gather with others. Europe must do heavy lifting but to support peace on our continent, and to succeed, this effort must have strong US backing,” Starmer said during a press conference at the leaders’ summit in London on Sunday.
