Kremlin welcomes pause of U.S. military aid to Ukraine | Moscow Sanctions | Russia-U.S. ties | N18G

On March 4, the Kremlin commented on the pause in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, suggesting it could contribute to peace, but emphasized that more details were needed regarding President Trump’s decision. This follows a clash between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, deepening the rift between the U.S. and Ukraine. Trump, who aims to be remembered as a "peace maker," altered U.S. policy, citing fears of World War Three and claiming that Ukraine had no remaining leverage. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov cautiously welcomed the possibility of the pause, arguing that halting U.S. arms supplies could prompt Ukraine to seek peace. Russia has controlled parts of Ukraine since 2014, with its invasion escalating in 2022. Additionally, Russia stated that any potential normalization of relations with the U.S. would require the lifting of sanctions, a move that could be considered as Trump seeks to restore ties and end the conflict.
