Total collapse of the AFU up north.

> Thousands of Ukrainians are barricading themselves in Sudzha, Kursk as our troops press on.

> New offensives by the RuAF have also begun into the Sumy region, Ukraine. Heavy fighting continues

Zelensky has lost his last bargaining chip, this conflict ends on Russia's terms.

He should have agreed to Trump's peace plan, now he has nothing to show for in the possible negotiations.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GkUw0vxWYAAz_KC?format=jpg&name=small (LAST) As of March 16, 2025, Donald Trump has not permanently stopped US taxpayer money from going to Ukraine, but he has taken significant actions to pause and review military aid. Reports indicate that the Trump administration suspended all US military aid to Ukraine earlier this month, following a contentious meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on February 28, 2025. This pause, announced around March 3, 2025, halted billions in shipments, including ammunition and equipment, as a means to pressure Ukraine into peace negotiations with Russia. The White House stated this was a temporary measure to "review" aid and ensure it aligns with a solution, with the suspension to remain until Trump determines Ukraine is committed to peace talks. However, more recent developments show that on March 11, 2025, the Trump administration lifted this suspension, resuming military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine. This shift came after talks in Saudi Arabia with Ukrainian officials, who signaled openness to a 30-day ceasefire and negotiations, aligning with Trump’s stated goal of ending the conflict. The resumption suggests that while Trump has not stopped US taxpayer money to Ukraine outright, he is using it as leverage to push for a resolution, with aid flows contingent on Ukraine’s cooperation in peace efforts. The total US assistance to Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion is substantial—over $180 billion, including more than $66.5 billion in military aid—though exact figures vary by source. Trump has exaggerated this amount, claiming $350 billion, which exceeds official records. His administration’s current stance indicates a conditional approach rather than a complete cessation, with aid potentially tied to outcomes like a minerals deal or a finalized peace agreement. Thus, while taxpayer money hasn’t been permanently stopped, its continuation hinges on Trump’s strategic objectives as of now.
