Ukraine: Zelensky accepts Trump’s guidance to achieve peace, US military aid suspended

After suspending military aid from the US, Zelensky approaches Trump to avoid collapse at the front and start peace negotiations with Russia

A new shock shakes Ukraine: the US has decided to suspend sending military aid, leaving Kiev with only six months’ autonomy on the frontline. This decision prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept the conditions set by President Donald Trump to safeguard US support. Zelensky said he was ready to work ‘under Trump’s strong leadership’ to achieve lasting peace, paving the way for a rare earths agreement and proposing an immediate truce in the air and at sea with Russia.

Echoing the suspension: Kiev’s fear and the minerals deal

The announcement of the suspension of aid caused great concern in Kiev. Oleksandr Merezhko, chairman of Ukraine’s foreign commission, compared the situation to the Munich Agreement of 1938, which paved the way for Nazi Germany’s invasion of Europe. Without Pentagon support, Ukraine risks losing access to key systems such as Patriot air defence, as well as long-range artillery and intelligence support. Zelensky, advised by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has therefore tried to mend fences with Trump, focusing on the mining agreement as leverage to obtain new security guarantees from the United States.

Zelensky appeals for a truce with Russia

In an attempt to reduce tensions, Zelensky proposed an immediate truce with Russia, which would involve the release of prisoners and a ceasefire in the air and at sea. The Ukrainian president emphasised that Kiev is willing to lay down its arms, provided Russia does the same. The proposal includes an end to missile and drone attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure, a signal that could pave the way for broader negotiations.

International reactions and the debate over mineral resources

The reopening of dialogue with Trump has been applauded by French President Emmanuel Macron, while Kiev has begun discussions with European partners to explore the possibility of replacing US military aid. However, the debate on the management of Ukraine’s mineral resources has sparked controversy. US Vice-President Vance, in an interview with Fox, said that the mineral resources would provide more security than sending foreign soldiers. This provoked a reaction from France and the UK, the only two countries that have so far offered troops for a possible peacekeeping mission.
