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 effort to broker a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow. Their public feud culminated in an unprecedented shouting match in the Oval Office at the White House on Friday, after which Trump said that Zelensky was disrespectful to the US.
