The Trump administration is considering cutting off all remaining military aid to Ukraine, citing President Volodymyr Zelensky’s remarks during their Oval Office meeting on Friday.

A White House meeting on Friday between US President Donald J. Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Zelensky descended into a heated exchange, with Trump and Vance hurling accusations at Zelensky and Ukraine.

A senior administration official, speaking anonymously to The Washington Post (WP), said the decision, if made, would affect billions of dollars’ worth of radars, vehicles, ammunition, and missiles awaiting shipment under the presidential drawdown authority.

Meanwhile, Russia has responded to the unprecedented spat between Trump and Zelensky. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote in a post on the social media Telegram, “I think the biggest lie of all was Zelensky’s lie, his claim in the White House that the Kiev government was alone in 2022. It received no support.”

Maria Zakharova also wrote, “How Trump and Vance (US Vice President) refrained from hitting that scoundrel; it is a miracle of restraint.”
