Reuters learns who suddenly suspended aid to Ukraine, and it's not Trump.


Withdrawal of arms flights to Ukraine
According to Reuters, the U.S. military ordered three cargo airlines to halt 11 flights carrying weapons that were to deliver artillery shells and other munitions to Ukraine, just a week after Donald Trump's second presidential term began.
Shortly after, requests to stop the supplies came in from Ukrainian officials and individuals in Poland, although U.S. authorities and the government did not provide official explanations. After a week, the flights were resumed, but the initially scheduled deliveries were delayed.
An oral order came from the office of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This occurred after a meeting at the White House, during which Hegseth expressed the idea of suspending aid for Ukraine, but Trump himself did not support this initiative.
It is unknown whether other senior officials at the meeting were aware of this decision. However, the White House confirmed that Hegseth's actions complied with Trump's directive to suspend aid to Ukraine, which took place during a photo opportunity.
Overall, according to the aggregated report, Trump attempted to stop flights carrying weapons to Ukraine, but this initiative was not supported, just like other senior national security officials.
