America will no longer front the lion’s share of aid to Ukraine, the Trump administration said today in a devastating blow to Kyiv that will pile pressure on Europe to fill the void.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Washington will ‘no longer tolerate an imbalanced relationship’ with its allies, adding that ‘Europe must provide the overwhelming share of future lethal and non-lethal aid to Ukraine’.
In a boon for Vladimir Putin, he added that the United States would not deploy troops to Ukraine to uphold any peace deal with Russia – one of the key security guarantees requested by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
