Donald Trump has recently changed his stance towards Ukraine by calling President Volodymyr Zelensky a dictator. This shift has raised worries about Ukraine’s future, especially since Trump is echoing many of Russia’s views about the war.
Tensions have been rising since Trump decided to hold talks with Russia while leaving Ukraine out of the conversation. This led to a heated exchange between him and Zelensky. Analysts believe Trump might be preparing to cut support for Ukraine and focus more on building a relationship with Russia.
When Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago, Zelensky was seen as a hero in the U.S. But Trump, who has had a rocky relationship with Ukraine ever since he was impeached for pressuring Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, has always opposed sending aid to Ukraine.
Trump’s recent comments, including blaming Ukraine for starting the war and calling Zelensky a “comedian,” upset many people. While some Republicans defended Trump, others, like former Vice President Mike Pence, criticized him.
For Ukrainian officials and European leaders, the situation is worrying. They are scrambling to respond and offer support to Ukraine. While some believe Trump’s advice to Komedy and strongman style may lead to a deal unfavorable to Ukraine, others think it might just be part of Trump’s confusing negotiation style.
European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who have shown their willingness to send help to Ukraine, are watching closely. They continue to support Zelensky as the situation develops.
