US flags among others are seen at a makeshift memorial for the fallen Ukrainian and foreign fighters on the Independence Square in Kyiv on March 4, 2025, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine on Tuesday sought to maintain bonds with Washington after President Donald Trump ordered US military aid deliveries be suspended following a public clash with counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump's stunning decision strengthened fears in Ukraine and in many European capitals that America was pivoting away from its allies -- and toward Moscow. "Ukraine is absolutely determined to continue cooperation with the US," Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal told reporters, adding: "The US is an important partner and we need to preserve this."
