Summary
Donald Trump has privately stated that a minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine is no longer enough to restart military aid and intelligence sharing.
He demands concessions from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, including territorial compromises with Russia and movement toward elections or stepping down.
Amid increased Russian attacks, Republicans are pressuring the White House to resume support. The U.S. continues providing defensive intelligence but not targeting data.
European allies are filling intelligence gaps, but delays benefit Russia.
Total capitulation plus a cash bonus for Trump in exchange for extremely shaky overtures of possible military support against Putin, who is the closest thing to a true/consistent Trump ally than virtually anyone else on the planet.
