President Trump moments ago reacted fiercely to fresh statements of Ukrainian President Zelensky, who said that he sees the end of the war with Russia as being "very, very far away." Zelensky had even added that he expects to keep receiving American support despite last Friday's blow-up at the White House, wherein VP Vance charged that he is ungrateful.
"I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship," Zelensky said late Sunday. "I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America" to keep aid flowing. These were some of the remarks featured in the Associated Press article highlighted in a Truth Social post by Trump on Monday.
Trump warned in response, "This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelensky, and America will not put with it for much longer." He added in reference to Zelensky that "this guy doesn't want there to be Peace as long as he has America's backing."
Update(1858ET): There's been contradictory reports all day, and at one point in the afternoon a firm Trump denial, but Monday evening Bloomberg is reporting that the US has paused all military aid to Ukraine amid the tit-for-tat open feuding with Zelensky.
"President Donald Trump ordered a pause to all military aid to Ukraine, turning up the heat on Volodymyr Zelenskiy just days after an Oval Office blowup with the Ukrainian president left the support of his country’s most important ally in doubt," the publication writes in a breaking story.
"The US is pausing all current military aid to Ukraine until Trump determines the country’s leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace, according to a senior Defense Department official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations," Bloomberg adds.
For now this is only the usual anonymous official, and while it could be premature (as meetings "mulling" a stoppage take place), it sure looks like that's where things are headed.
