Bully diplomacy: Is Trump forcing Ukraine into a peace deal with Russia? | DW News Desk

With US support to Ukraine in question, can Europe fill the gap, and how long can Kyiv hold out? The Trump administration has paused military aid to Ukraine, ramping up pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate peace with Russia. The move follows a tense Oval Office meeting where Trump and Vice President JD Vance scolded Zelenskyy for lacking gratitude after receiving $180 billion in US aid. Trump insists Ukraine must show a “commitment” to ending the war before funding resumes. Critics see the freeze as political extortion that could embolden Russia.
