The US was almost ready to sign a mineral deal with Ukraine to help their rebuilding efforts in exchange of some mineral rights, based on condition that Ukraine agrees for peace talks with Russia. However, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reneged during his meeting in the White House, angering Trump and Vice President Vance.
The USA under Trump has been clear in communicating that they are no longer interested in prolonging the Russia-Ukraine war by sending money and weapons to Ukraine. The EU nations, a part of NATO, have indicated their willingness to keep supporting Ukraine, but since NATO itself is heavily dependent upon USA, the prospects of Ukraine getting any substantial aid look grim as of now.
