“Zelensky made it clear during his disastrous visit to the White House last Friday that he’s dead-set on fighting until the last Ukrainian, unless his country either gets NATO membership or Western troops. Neither of those demands is acceptable to Trump since they’d risk World War III, but so too could that risk continue rising if the conflict doesn’t soon end. Trump therefore realized that the only way to force Zelensky to the peace table with Putin is to freeze all military aid until he moderates his extreme stance.”
