The Kremlin said on Tuesday that pausing U.S. military aid to Ukraine would be the best contribution to the cause of peace, but cautioned that Russia

needed to clarify the details of the move by U.S. President Donald Trump.



Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine following his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, a White House official said, deepening the fissure that has opened between the one-time allies.



Trump, who spoke to Putin on February 12 and says he wants to be remembered as a "peace maker", has upended U.S. policy on the war in Ukraine which he says risks igniting World War Three. Trump also says Kyiv has no cards left to play.



Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was cautious on reports of a pause in U.S. aid and said the details needed to be seen.
