Trump's Ukraine policy: A shock for Kiev and the world!

In a shocking interview, US President Donald Trump once again revealed his stance on Ukraine, causing a stir around the world. Asked if he felt comfortable with support for Ukraine being halted, Trump replied unequivocally: "Well, it might not survive anyway." According to Trump, who made a drastic U-turn in Ukraine policy during his time in office, it is necessary to force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to enter into peace negotiations. These statements, made during a discussion with Fox News, add to Ukrainians' already growing concerns about U.S. support in the face of ongoing Russian aggression New York Times reported.

The relationship between Trump and Zelensky remains tense. Trump even accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war against Russia and gave him the title “dictator.” A meeting at the White House resulted in a public scandal that only reinforced the mixed signals coming from Washington. While US aid to Ukraine is on hold, the US government through Trump is showing a strikingly pro-Russian stance in the conflict. Still, Trump insists he has been “very tough on Russia,” which some observers interpret as a contradiction to his recent statements. As the Austrian reports, the German political leadership increasingly takes note that the support from the USA is uncertain, which further endangers the position of Ukraine. The German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed that Europe now had to stand together more than ever to support Ukraine and prevent submission.
