The U.S. has been Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s biggest military backer since Russia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s full-scale invasion began three years ago. The suspension of that aid by the Trump administration doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t mean Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s defenses will quickly collapse.But it's a major blow that threatens to remove some of the most formidable weapons in Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s battlefield arsenal, and ratchets up pressure on Kyiv to accept a peace agreement.Here바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a look at the decision and its implications.How much of Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s aid comes from the US?The United States has given the Ukrainians more than $180 billion in assistance since Russia launched an all-out war on Feb. 24, 2022, including more than $66.5 billion in military aid.Washington provides about 20% of Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s military supplies, and that fifth includes the most lethal and important equipment, including longer-range missiles and Patriot air defense systems that can shoot down the most powerful Russian projectiles.American military assistance also goes far beyond weapons and ammunition.Ukrainian troops rely on satellite communications systems supplied by Elon Musk바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Starlink to communicate on the front line, and on American intelligence to track Russian troop movements and select targets for Ukrainian strikes. If the U.S. stops sharing data from satellites and other assets, it would badly affect Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s capability to strike back at Russia, and Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s other allies lack the resources to fill the gap.바카라 게임 웹사이트�A lot will depend on what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s covered by the American suspension,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Malcolm Chalmers, deputy director-general of defense think-tank RUSI. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Will they suspend all technical assistance to Ukraine? That would have a more dramatic, more rapid impact than simply stopping the pipeline of arms.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Why has Trump cut it off?The White House said that the U.S. is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�pausing and reviewing바카라 게임 웹사이트� its Ukraine aid to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�ensure that it is contributing to a solution.바카라 게임 웹사이트� The order will remain in effect until Trump determines that Ukraine has demonstrated a commitment to peace negotiations with Russia.The decision comes days after an explosive meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which Trump and U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s leader hasn't expressed sufficient gratitude for American support.Video below: What바카라 게임 웹사이트�s next for peace talks after Trump-Zelenskyy clashHow will it change the battlefield?The U.S. move won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have an immediate impact on the battlefield, where Kyiv바카라 게임 웹사이트�s forces are struggling to stem a relentless Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian forces have slowed Russian advances along the roughly 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line, where Russia is slowly gaining ground at a huge human and material cost.The pause in aid will weaken air defenses and will hit Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s ability to hit Russian targets far behind the front lines.Alexander Kots, a Russian war blogger, said that for Ukraine, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the U.S. aid suspension is unpleasant but not deadly.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He said that while Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s European allies can fill some of the gaps and provide artillery systems, they don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have alternatives to the U.S.-made air-defense systems and longer-range HIMARS missile systems that can strike ground targets up to 300 kilometers (200 miles) away.Ukraine is already running low on missiles for the American-supplied Patriot systems that are crucial to defending cities from Russian air attacks, according to Patrick Bury, a warfare expert at the U.K.'s University of Bath.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The problem is, a lot of what the U.S. provides is the stuff that Europe cannot, and other countries cannot, provide in the short term 바카라 게임 웹사이트� high-end stuff," he said.Ukraine has stockpiles of artillery shells and other munitions, and has ramped up domestic production of drones, which are now among the most important weapons in the war. It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s estimated that just over half of the military hardware used by Ukraine is domestically produced.Chalmers, the RUSI expert, said that the Ukrainians have built up their defense production, and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�are innovating at an incredible rate because of the pressure they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re under.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�I think they will survive for quite some time,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�But it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a material blow, and it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s also a challenge to Europe.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Can Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s other allies step up?A summit in London on Sunday was aimed at getting European leaders to step up and put Ukraine in the best possible position before potential peace talks.The U.K. announced that it would use 1.6 billion pounds ($2 billion) in export financing to supply 5,000 air defense missiles. The European Union has proposed an 800 billion-euro ($841 billion) plan to bolster the defenses of EU nations and provide Ukraine with military muscle.But Samir Puri, director of the Center for Global Governance and Security at international affairs think tank Chatham House, said that European and American aid are intertwined.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This was always a joint effort,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The U.S. gives a lot, the Europeans give a lot. You take away the Americans from that joint effort and 바카라 게임 웹사이트� there바카라 게임 웹사이트�s just a huge component missing to the structure.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
