US President Donald Trump has gone all in with his effort to strongarm Kyiv into peace negotiations with Russia, suspending US military aid to Ukraine with immediate effect. The move has sent shockwaves through the Western world and left Ukraine and its allies scrambling.

The decision marked the realization of a fear that has racked Ukraine since President Trump’s re-election. The Trump administration’s decision to suspend the delivery of all military assistance to Ukraine left Ukrainians and Europeans figuring out on Tuesday how to fend for themselves.

It's a major blow that threatens to remove some of the most formidable weapons in Ukraine’s battlefield arsenal.
