Kilmeade Criticizes Trump Over Ukraine Aid Halt

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has publicly criticized President Donald Trump's recent decision to suspend all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, highlighting a significant break from his usual support of Trump. Kilmeade condemned the move, emphasizing the need to recognize Russian President Vladimir Putin as the aggressor in the Ukraine conflict and asserting that Ukraine must not lose the war to prevent further Russian expansion in Eastern Europe. This stance aligns more closely with international leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Moldovan President Maia Sandu, who have condemned Russia's actions. Kilmeade's comments came after a contentious meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which ended with Trump accusing Zelensky of disrespect and halting aid as leverage for peace talks favoring Russia. Meanwhile, Kilmeade's stance has caused tension with his co-hosts on 'Fox & Friends,' who have shown support for Trump's pivot towards Russia.
