US president has paused all American military aid to Ukraine after accusing his Ukrainian counterpart of not wanting peace
Donald Trump is considering lifting US sanctions on Russia after announcing a pause on American military support to Ukraine, according to reports.
It emerged overnight that the US president was halting aid to the war-torn eastern European country until Volodymyr Zelensky is willing to engage in what Mr Trump views as good-faith negotiations with the US.
An unnamed White House source told Reuters that Mr Trump is also drawing up a plan to relieve US sanctions on Russia in a bid to improve economic and diplomatic relations with the Kremlin.
It comes after Sir Keir Starmer insisted during a summit in London at the weekend that a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine would need “strong US backing”
