The good news is, the executive order, is specifically about development assistance. The vast, vast majority of US aid to Ukraine does not fall under this category.

Sec. 3. (a) 90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance...

Kicking Russia out of Ukraine:

Does it make America safer?

Yes because Russia will have learnt the hard way that invading other countries doesn't result in less NATO on their borders and doesn't increase their own security.

Does it make America stronger?

Yes because it strengthens your alliance with Europe, and increases NATO by another country with a recent battle tested and proven military.

Does it make America more prosperous?

Yes because there is a massive amount of rebuilding needing doing in Ukraine.

Of course Putin's bumchum Trump might have a different take on all this, especially if he's been staring too much into Putin's palantir.

You can't use reason with the Orange Idiot or his boot lickers. It never works.

You left off it let's them use ukraine as a testing ground for new weapon systems, giving them wartime feedback, making them stronger.

But predictable. Putin wants it, Putin gets it. He's the boss.
