Ukraine faces its biggest catastrophe as Trump cuts all military aid to Kyiv

The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump has ordered a halt to all military aid to Ukraine. The directive, which takes immediate effect, affects more than a billion dollars' worth of weapons and ammunition, including those already in transit and those still in the ordering stage. Trump has also instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth not to redirect weapons and equipment currently stored in transit depots in Poland to Ukraine. Additionally, shipments from Pentagon stockpiles through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative will be paused. This initiative provides funds that Kyiv can only use to purchase new military equipment directly from American defense companies.
