U.S.-Ukraine Relations Hit New Low as Trump Shifts Focus to Moscow
U.S.-Ukraine relations have deteriorated sharply as President Donald Trump pivots toward engaging with Russia, drawing criticism from Kyiv and bipartisan members of Congress. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Washington of blocking missile deliveries and intelligence sharing while easing sanctions on Moscow. In response, Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied any pause in intelligence support, while several lawmakers threatened investigations and budget cuts. The dispute has intensified amid ongoing Russian missile strikes on Ukraine and a U.S. diesel deal with Russia.
