Will America cut military aid to Ukraine? appeared on unherd.com by Bethany Elliott.
Is America slowly pulling out of its Ukrainian commitments? On Friday, a leaked cable indicated that the world’s richest nation is halting work on almost all its foreign aid programmes as part of a 90-day funding freeze, with new commitments also being paused.
Despite that, Volodymyr Volodymyr Zelensky looked relieved at the weekend. On Saturday, the Ukrainian President told reporters that US military aid to his country had not stopped, and one of his officials confirmed that American supplies of weaponry remain “intact”. This would seem, on the face of it, to be positive for Ukraine. Kyiv does, after all, rely on the US for 40% of its military aid and Volodymyr Zelensky has himself admitted that his country would lose the war if the Americans were to slash funding. Moreover, senior US diplomats are reportedly pushing for all Ukraine-related programmes to be exempted, with Washington sending back “positive signals”.
However, this episode holds worrying implications for US-Ukraine relations under the new Trump administration. While military aid to Kyiv is protected, Volodymyr Zelensky did not clarify whether humanitarian assistance is safe. Rather, USAID sources said last week that work on humanitarian programmes in Ukraine has been halted, with support for education projects, emergency maternal care and childhood vaccinations all frozen. Meanwhile, a service offering veterans financial, legal and psychological help has already shut. The initial request by US diplomats for all Ukrainian programmes to be exempted did not meet with immediate success and, until those lobbying efforts garner results, Kyiv is forced to manage the fallout. NGO staff are already warning that Ukrainian schools, hospitals, energy infrastructure and economic programmes will be at risk unless US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issues a waiver.
