If the United States has really decided to suspend military aid to Ukraine, it may coerce Ukraine to engage in a peace process, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, APA reports citing TASS.
On March 3, Reuters reported, citing a White House official, that US President Donald Trump had handed down instructions to suspend all military assistance to Ukraine. The order came into effect in the early hours of Tuesday. A Pentagon official told TASS that the US Armed Forces had suspended supplies of military aid to Ukraine. According to him, the move concerns all US military equipment that has not yet reached Ukraine, including weapons transported by aircraft and vessels or waiting to be shipped from transit zones in Poland.
"Undoubtedly, we have yet to figure out the details but if it’s true, then this is a decision that really can push Ukraine towards a peace process," the Russian presidential spokesman noted.
