President Trump’s decision to cut military aid to Ukraine, announced on March 3, 2025, marks a major shift in U.S. foreign policy. The move follows a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and has drawn sharp criticism from NATO allies while earning praise from Moscow. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called it “the best contribution to peace,” arguing that Ukraine may now be forced into negotiations.This shift departs from the Biden administration’s military support approach,
instead favoring diplomacy and economic measures. While European leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, U.S. officials remain divided. Critics warn the decision could embolden Russia, while supporters see it as a necessary change.Russia views the move as validation of its claim that Western aid prolonged the war. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov welcomed Trump’s approach, but skeptics fear it may lead to further Russian aggression. The impact of this decision will shape international security for years to come.
