If the decision to halt aid is made, it would affect radars worth billions of dollars, vehicles, ammunition, and missiles awaiting shipment to Ukraine.

Unofficially: Trump is considering stopping arms shipments to Ukraine

"The consideration of halting arms shipments to Ukraine, which is resisting a full-scale Russian invasion, highlights the dramatic decline in relations between the former allies following the controversial exchange in the Oval Office between Zelensky, Trump, and Vance," writes "The Washington Post".

The official cited by the newspaper rejected the view that the confrontation between Trump and Vance with Zelensky was premeditated. He also stated that efforts were made to set a more positive tone during planning before the meeting, as indicated by Trump's decision to abandon the accusation that Zelensky is a "dictator."
