Measure to remain in place till Ukraine demonstrates commitment to peace negotiations with Russia

- ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Donald Trump on Monday directed a "pause" to US assistance to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in negotiations to end the war with Russia.

The move comes just days after a disastrous Oval Office meeting in which Trump and Vice President JD Vance tore into Zelenskyy for what they perceived as insufficient gratitude for the more than $180 billion the US has appropriated for military aid and other assistance to Kyiv since the start of Russia's invasion on 24 February, 2022.

A White House official said Trump is focused on reaching a peace deal and wants Zelenskyy "committed" to that goal.

The official added that the US was "pausing and reviewing" its aid to "ensure that it is contributing to a solution."
