U.S. President Donald Trump directed the U.S. to pause all assistance to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in peace talks with Russia.
The decision appears to halt arms deliveries approved under the Biden administration, but it was not clear whether deliveries of ammunition for weapons systems already in Ukraine would be affected.
Ukraine, which depends heavily on foreign help to hold back the Russian invasion that began on Feb. 24 2022, has feared that aid could be stopped since Trump took office.
Our (Denmark) defense minister Troels Lund Poulsen just stated that this will. have significant impact on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.
OK that’s true, but how was this outcome not viewed as extremely likely already when Trump was elected?
It’s a bit late to act surprised now, we had hoped it wouldn’t get to this, but everybody with more than 2 brain cells absolutely 100% expected this could happen.At least it looks like Europe and Canada is taking this serious, and has prepared to increase aid for the past 2 weeks. But it should have been at least the past ½ year!!!
USA can currently not be considered an ally of Europe, or even NATO, and they are traitors to democracy. This is NOT just Trump, it is America as a whole!!!
