Trump's executive order suspending international aid does not include Ukraine programs - Pentagon

Trump's executive order does not apply to military aid to Ukraine

US President Donald Trump's decree to suspend international support for 90 days does not affect Ukraine's arms assistance programs. The contracts signed by the Joe Biden administration for the production of weapons for our country remain in force.

This was reported by the Voice of America. According to the publication, the Pentagon confirmed that military assistance to Ukraine is not subject to restrictions.

"Security assistance to Ukraine is not subject to the restrictions of the recent foreign assistance order, as it only applies to development programs, not military support," the US Department of Defense said.

This means that the arms contracts for Ukraine under the USAI program issued by the Biden administration remain in effect.

Also, this particular decree does not affect either the remaining or previously planned supply of weapons from US warehouses under the PDA program, which was announced by Joe Biden.

At the same time, the publication notes that it remains to be seen how Trump's executive order may affect non-military assistance to Ukraine.

The US Embassy in Ukraine does not provide additional explanations on this issue and refers to the published text of President Trump's decree, Radio Liberty reported.

As reported, US President Donald Trump suspended US aid to other countries for 90 days in one of his first decrees in office. However, this decision will not affect aid to Ukraine.
