US to Resume Ukraine Military Aid, Intelligence Sharing

Ukraine accepted a US proposal for a 30-day truce with Russia as part of a deal with the Trump administration to lift a freeze on military aid and intelligence for Kyiv.

The agreement laid out in a joint statement follows eight hours of talks in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday that raised the possibility of a pause of hostilities in Russia’s three-year war that’s ravaged Ukraine.

The US will now take the proposal to Russia to seek its agreement, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told reporters in Jeddah.

“They made concrete steps and concrete proposals, not only accepting our proposal for a full ceasefire,” Waltz said of Ukrainian officials. “We also got into substantive details on how this war is going to permanently end, what type of guarantees they’re going to have for their long-term security and prosperity, but also really looking at what it’s going to take to finally end the horrific fighting.”

So what he's basically saying in English is president Trump was enraged that president Zelensky hadn't stroked his ego and now that president Zelensky has stroked his ego, he has decided to lift the pause on aid to Ukraine.

Why are these "peace" talks going on with Zelensky? One guy has the power to bring peace to this situation, the one who started it and is continuing it...Vladimir Putin.

Why did you pause assistance in the first place?
It’s a completely different feel to see diplomacy when toddler in chief is not around. It’s a shame America had become an extortionist.
