(ANSA-AFP) - WASHINGTON, MAR 4 - President Donald Trump suspended military aid to Ukraine on Monday, a US official told AFP, sharply escalating pressure on Kyiv to agree to peace negotiations with Russia.
The move comes just days after a stunning public clash at the White House between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump, who is seeking a rapid end to the war.
"The President has been clear that he is focused
on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as
well," a White House official said, speaking on condition of
anonymity. "We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that
it is contributing to a solution," the official added. Trump
earlier on Monday said that such a pause had not yet been
discussed, but did not rule it out. He also suggested that
Zelensky "won't be around very long" without a ceasefire deal
with Moscow. (ANSA-AFP).
