In one week of October, President Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel, said it was “time for Ukraine to get a new president,” and demanded that Kyiv “damn well stop” striking Russian refineries. Then Kyiv received no warning from the US before two nights of Russian missile strikes, and Starshield military satellite service was restricted without notice. Reuters now reports that the order to slow it came from inside the White House.

Many readers are asking the same question: has Washington decided to abandon Ukraine? A wave of posts says it already has. Others insist nothing has changed. Neither side is waiting for the evidence.

So we built a live tracker, Is the US Cutting Ukraine Off? It follows the specific indicators that would show an explicit decision to cut off support, and separates what has actually happened from what is being threatened or claimed.
