After the disastrous peace meeting in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the U.S. has stopped its aid to the Ukraine war.
Donald Trump said, “This guy (Zelensky) doesn’t want there to be peace as long as he has America’s support”. In the Oval Office meeting itself, Trump said that the U.S. had made a $350 billion contribution alone to let that war stretch in the name of protecting Ukraine from Russia‘s invasion.

He also mentioned that this war might have been over within 2 weeks without America’s support.
After America withdrew its support, Zelensky faced European countries for help to let that war continue. The big economies like the U.K. and France showed their support after the Oval Office meeting, Zelensky went to meet U.K. Prime Minister Kier Starmer who said, Ukraine is not alone we are standing with them.
On the other hand, in a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, France President Emanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Kier Starmer both agreed that it would be difficult to support Ukraine with U.S. support.
What will happen to Ukraine after the U.S. aid cut-off?
Without America’s active support, this war might end soon even if the big European countries are still supporting Zelensky to stretch the war because Europe itself is facing financial crises right now and alone funding a war can make this situation worse.
Also, Russia will have a clear edge now because the most powerful country has withdrawn its support if the peace talks start, Russia will capture most of Ukraine’s land and its minerals.
Eventually, from all sides everything happening is in the favor of Russia and it looks like Russia has won a 3-year long war.
