Trump's Ukraine gambit: Peace...or surrender?

He's been threatening to do it and now he has. Donald Trump has made the decision to pull all military aid from Ukraine.

Whether or not it’s just a negotiating tactic to force Volodymyr Zelensky to sign a minerals deal, for the time being at least Ukraine will have to fight the Russian invasion without US support, presumably to the delight of Vladimir Putin.

Talking Kamal and Camilla through just how critical that support is, and how long Ukraine can last with just European backing, is The Telegraph's Defence and Foreign Affairs Editor Con Coughlin.

Verity Bowman also reports from Dnipro, where she's been speaking to Ukrainian soldiers galvanised by the end to US military aid and promising to keep fighting.
