Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday the U.S. has not stopped military aid to Ukraine after newly sworn-in U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would pause foreign aid grants for 90 days. Zelenskyy did not clarify whether humanitarian aid had been paused. Ukraine relies on the U.S. for 40% of its military needs.

The future of US support to Ukraine remains a focal point as President Donald Trump begins his second term. Trump has repeatedly claimed that Russia’s invasion would not have occurred if he had been in office.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that US military assistance to Kiev has not been affected by the State Department's foreign aid freeze. US media reported on Friday that the State Department in Washington had ordered a 90-day halt to most foreign aid in accordance with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.
