Trump and Zelensky relations near breaking point

aif.ru (Russian) —

The most serious potential consequence for Ukraine would be a halt to American military aid, as Kyiv relies on US intelligence data and Starshield satellite communications for military purposes, with earlier reports noting Starlink restrictions have already shaken Ukraine.
