  1. “This directive, which took State Department officials by surprise, appears to include funding for military assistance to Ukraine, Politico reports.”

    “Officials believe the halt will affect key allies, including Ukraine, Jordan and Taiwan.”

    Just when we were celebrating that Trump’s executive order on Day 1 excluded military aid for Ukraine.

  2. I bet the halt on foreign aid across the board was just to camoflauge Trump stopping aid specifically for Ukraine

  3. Fucker. 

    EU – time to do more. More is more. More must mean enough.

  4. There’s a reason why Musk and the other oligarchs are opposed to aid to Ukraine.

    The robber barons want their countless billions for helping Trump win.

    Their huge pay-offs have to come from somewhere.

  5. This does not affect the aid that has already been allocated under previous admin. Also, the State Dept. only sets policy. How much aid and where it goes is up to Congress. Currently, about 70-80 percent of congress is in favor of Ukraine.

    It’s complicated and I’m generalizing but this is not as bad as it sounds. Let’s wait to see how congress and the DoD acts.

    (Also please correct me if I’m mistaken)

  6. Does anyone want three guesses on which country is not included in this order?

  7. As I understand it flows of military assistance to Ukraine remain unaffected.

    I know we’re all worried about Ukraine right now, but there is a wider point here, that the US is abandoning its allies all over the planet. Others will step into their place and it will not end well.

  8. Lol at the Magatards believing trump will push putin to the negotiating table and arm ukriane for real.

  9. I swear if we lose Ukraine because of shit like this..

  10. Relax, our (Ukrainian) officials have already disproved that yesterday. Right now there aren’t any issues, and I hope it stays that way, if not better

  11. Nope…see this…

    “Politico: US foreign aid pause “appears to apply to funding for military assistance to Ukraine.” Several sources confirm to me that this applies to the FMF funding (which has already been spent.) PDA and USAI programs for Ukraine remain unaffected.”

  12. Since it includes tawain we can expect an invasion within the next 4 years.

  13. Officials believe the halt will affect key allies, including Ukraine, Jordan, and Taiwan.

    Doesnt exactly say they cut assistance lol

  14. As expected. Trump Jr and Leon and mike were hinting they would be cutting funding to ukraine. Taiwan though? Does America like computers? Because that’s where all the good computers come from.

  15. “The Kyiv Independent can’t imemdiately verify this information.”

    Trump hate syndrome strikes again. Anything to get a headline regardless of the facts.

    All subs related to Ukraine or politics have really taken a hit of credibility and it has turned into Trump hate posts in the comments.

    Edit- guys I get it but all I’m asking for in a sub that follows a country at war, where disinformation and propaganda is a theater in that war, to demand better reporting.

    Read the article. The Independent posted two articles this week stating how the aide works and how it’ll effect Ukraine including sources the Pentagon. Now they post this with zero new info added AND state it’s unverified.

  16. As an American I am deeply ashamed of our country. As another commenter said, our government is betraying the oaths and treaties and peace accords all over the world. I fear it won’t be long before someone somewhere is bold enough to act in the big void of betrayal & weakness that chump is creating.

    Please know that some of us are decent Americans, and we want to help defend Ukraine. I’ve called and text and emailed my senators and representatives and all to no avail.

    I’m so sorry. My heart is breaking for what is happening. The world is on fire, and there’s an imposter in the White House. I feel powerless to remedy the disease that has swept through our government.
    I hope that other nations continue and increase what they can do to help Ukraine keeps it’s sovereignty and hang onto it’s freedom.

    🇺🇦🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦

  17. Europe must send troops to Ukraine. This us the only way the war can end with Ukraine as a winner. It will rake too much time to ramp up military production.
    And by the way, Trump is an orange cunt.

  18. Warning: Europe needs to stop depending on the U.S. for defense. Trump is going to cut the cord. Ramp it up or learn Russian.

  19. This is apparently incorrect from Politico.

    “Because a lot of people are still not getting it. Rubio’s directive applies to State Department funded foreign assistance, including Foreign Military Financing (FMF).

    FMF is Ukraine’s least important security assistance program. There is little to no remaining funding available in the FMF accounts that could theoretically be obligated for Ukraine.

    Rubio’s directive has no impact on the Department of Defense managed PDA and USAI programs (the Pentagon has confirmed this too).

    So it is inaccurate to say that the Trump Admin has cut aid to Ukraine in any real or meaningful way.”

  20. Will this be the call for Europe to step up? They’ve done a lot but if this spells the beginning of complete withdrawal of American aid Europe will have to ramp up even more

  21. Halts aid, so that Ukraine can’t fight anymore, thus “ending” the war. Russia now learns that bullying countries pays off. They won’t stop in Ukraine, they will push into Moldova next. The US, like Patton said, should have fought the Soviets after the German capitulation.

  22. The Pentagon is still giving aid it was a program by biden.

  23. We all knew this was coming. Just accept the Americans are owned by Russia and every other nation he bows to (likely have damaging… More damaging files on the family).

    Lean more towards your allies in Europe.. We in North America now have our own stupid fucking idiot to deal with
