On Monday, March 3rd, President Donald Trump halted all U.S. military aid to Ukraine following a heated meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House last week, administration officials confirmed. The decision places more than $1 billion in security assistance on hold as the administration reassesses its support for Kyiv.

A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the pause is intended to evaluate whether continued U.S. assistance is advancing peace efforts between Ukraine and Russia. โ€œPresident 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,โ€ the official said.

The aid freeze affects previously approved military packages, including shipments of arms and ammunition and funds allocated under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which allows Ukraine to purchase military equipment from American defense firms. Trump has not approved any new assistance for Ukraine since taking office in January, and a new congressional aid package appears unlikely in the near future.

The suspension follows a contentious Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelensky on Friday. Tensions escalated when Zelensky pressed for stronger security guarantees from the U.S., prompting Trump to criticize Ukraine for what he viewed as a lack of gratitude. The discussion became so strained that Ukrainian officials were reportedly asked to leave the White House.

Trump expressed further frustration with Zelensky, reacting to reports that the Ukrainian leader described a peace deal as โ€œvery, very far away.โ€ Trump responded on Truth Social, writing, โ€œThis is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!โ€

Despite the diplomatic rift, Trump suggested that a proposed U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal remains under consideration. The agreement would grant U.S. companies access to Ukrainian mineral resources, a prospect the administration views as a way to recoup some of the billions of dollars Washington has provided in aid since Russiaโ€™s invasion in 2022. When asked if the deal was off the table, Trump responded, โ€œNo, I donโ€™t think so.โ€

The aid pause has sparked concern among European allies, with some leaders exploring alternative measures to support Ukraine. British Prime Minister Keir Starmerโ€™s office confirmed that European nations are considering a peace plan and security guarantees independent of Washingtonโ€™s involvement.

While the administration has not specified how long the aid review will last, officials indicated that future assistance will depend on Ukraineโ€™s willingness to negotiate with Russia.
