Journalists from The New York Post have called on US President Donald Trump to resume military aid to Ukraine.
Journalists Call on Trump to Resume Aid to Ukraine
“Mr. President, we know that you understand that the main obstacle to peace in Ukraine is Russia's aggression. You said you were “disappointed” in your conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and that you don't think he wants to stop,” the NYP statement reads.
Journalists note that in a conversation with Trump, Putin again insisted that he does not want a ceasefire in Ukraine until the “root causes” of the war are eliminated.
— For Vladimir Putin, the “root cause” is the existence of Ukraine, writes the NYP.

In addition, the American newspaper asked Trump why the White House is punishing Ukraine in this way.
— You remember the despair on the face of the Ukrainian reporter with whom you had a touching conversation in the Netherlands, her fear for her husband and family. Why are we threatening to leave her? There is a belief, imposed by distorted ideologists, that helping Ukraine somehow harms the United States and is not in our interests. This is not true at all, — the journalists note.
NYP notes that Ukraine is partially paying for the weapons provided from confiscated Russian assets and European grants. Thanks to this, as journalists note, the US military can use these funds, and the intelligence data sent may be needed to create “better drones and anti-missile technologies.”
— But most importantly, Ukraine’s fate is a signal to the world about America. Russia is not an economic superpower. It is a dying terrorist state. Putin is ready to shed the blood of his people in the last struggle for empire. If we allow him to succeed, it will not only threaten Europe. It will show China that our alliances are unstable, — the journalists believe.
The editorial concludes that Ukraine's defeat “is not a catastrophe that can be blamed on someone else or explained away by the country's insignificance. It will destabilize the world, weaken America, and negatively impact your presidency.”
Let us recall that at the beginning of the week The White House confirmed the Pentagon's suspension of deliveries of some air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine over concerns about a decline in U.S. weapons stockpiles.
And soon NBC News wrote that the US Secretary of Defense Piet Hegseth has ordered the transfer of certain types of weapons to Ukraine to be stopped on his own, despite the results of a military analysis.
On July 4, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and US President Donald Trump held a telephone conversation. Axios, citing sources including a Ukrainian official, reports that the head of the States in a telephone conversation with Zelensky expressed a desire to help Ukraine with air defense amid growing attacks from Russia.
