VS schort militaire hulp aan Oekraïne op
March 4, 2025 - U.S. President Donald Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine as he looks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to engage in talks to end the war with Russia.
Washington’s suspension of military assistance will not lead to a sudden collapse of Ukraine’s defensive lines, but it could have a real impact on the war within months, undermining air defences and precision strike capabilities in particular.
U.S. deliveries of military aid via Ukraine’s western border halted at 3:30 am (0130 GMT), a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, after U.S. President Donald Trump paused assistance late on Monday following an extraordinary clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week, according to Reuters.
