Donald Trump has paused all current military aid to Ukraine until Volodymyr Zelensky proves he is committed to peace.

All US military equipment not currently in Ukraine will be paused, including weapons in transit or waiting to be shipped in Poland, a senior Defense department official told Bloomberg.

It came after Mr Trump on Monday suggested Mr Zelensky “won’t be around very long” if he does not end the war soon.

The US wants Mr Zelensky to offer an immediate ceasefire and hardliners in the Trump administration, including Elon Musk, blame the Ukrainian leader for prolonging the war.

The military aid cuts follow a meeting between Mr Trump and senior members of his administration including Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth on Monday.
