Reports of U.S. aid halt to Ukraine may be premature, expert says

According to international relations expert Resurgam, the recent claims about the suspension of U.S. aid to Ukraine should be approached with caution. 

A single article from Bloomberg cites an anonymous source stating the suspension, but such reports cannot be taken as definitive. This follows remarks by Trump, who claimed he hadn't considered the issue yet — whether he is being truthful or not is still unclear, but it leaves room for doubt.

The PDA (Presidential Drawdown Authority) can indeed be blocked by the U.S. president. USAI (Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative) is a different case and involves more complexities. There is the possibility that such decisions could be swiftly challenged.

Moreover, Resurgam points out that this information surfaced just ahead of an important event — the opening of Congress. Trump is set to deliver a speech where discussions on such issues could dramatically shift the focus, even potentially disrupting the speech itself. Whether the report on aid halt is accurate, an effort to apply pressure on Trump, or a piece of disinformation aimed at Kyiv remains unclear. The best approach, according to Resurgam, is to wait for official statements from both Ukraine and the United States later in the day.
