Description:

US President Donald Trump is pausing all military aid for Ukraine after a disastrous Oval Office meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, last week.

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen presents plan to mobilise some 800 billion euros ($841.5bn) for European defence, including the provision of “immediate” military support for Ukraine following the US’s suspension.

The US move comes hours after Trump accused Zelenskyy of not wanting peace “as long as he has America’s backing” and is likely to deal a serious blow to Ukraine’s efforts to repel Russia’s invasion.
