English-language reporting directly carries Zelensky's claim that US assistance has been suspended, without adding a separate analysis of the reasons or the programme to which the $16 billion relates.
Contexto
After Donald Trump returned to the White House in 2025, the US stopped providing Ukraine with free military assistance. From summer 2025, the US has sold weapons to NATO partners under the PURL programme, which those partners then transfer to Ukraine. The Congressional Research Service calculated that, from February 2022 to March 2026, the US committed $67.8 billion in weapons and military services to Ukraine, although it said the full value of assistance already provided might be lower and was not publicly disclosed.
