President Donald Trump's decision to halt shipments of US military aid to Ukraine has raised concerns among analysts at the UK-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank. According to RUSI's deputy director general, Malcolm Chalmers, this move could potentially embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin to demand further concessions.
Chalmers emphasized that Trump's decision appears to be driven by a belief that Russia may be open to a peace deal, with Ukraine being the perceived obstacle. However, there is a lack of evidence to support this assumption, leaving the potential terms of any such deal uncertain.
