The top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly thanked President Trump during an exclusive interview with The Post Tuesday for stepping in to reverse a Pentagon decision to pause aid to Kyiv, hailing the US president’s commitment to “peace through strength.”
Andriy Yermak — the equivalent in Ukraine to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — said the US president’s Monday night announcement was “very well received in Ukraine, especially after very [a] substantial phone conversation” between Trump and Zelensky on Friday.
The Pentagon’s sudden decision to halt shipments to Ukraine surprised Kyiv, particularly because it was out of step with Trump’s sentiments during the call, which Zelensky heralded as one of the best the two leaders have ever held.
