Ukraine on alert: Selenskyj calls for unity against Trump and Putin!

A dramatic change of power in the USA whirls the geopolitical landscape! After Donald Trump's surprising victory in the presidential election, Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj sent a haunting appeal to the European nations. In his evening video message, he demands unity and stability to cope with the uncertain course of the war against Russia. "The development of European politics must be coordinated," emphasizes Selenskyj, while hectic consultations about future strategy take place in Kiev.

Ukraine is worried about its military support from the USA. Trump could drastically reduce or even stop the crucial help that has been provided since the beginning of the war in February 2022. While the outgoing President Joe Biden always assured of supporting Ukraine as long as necessary, Trump announced a quick end to the conflict, but without explaining how he wants to achieve this. The uncertainty about Trump's future politics gives the concerns in Kiev grow that he could possibly make concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Selenskyj and Musk in conversation with Trump

Another exciting detail: Elon Musk, the Tech billionaire and CEO from SpaceX, was present during a phone call between Selenskyj and Trump. Musk, who supports the Ukrainian armed forces with his Satellite Communication System Starlink, assured Selenskyj that the system would continue to be available. According to reports, Musk's participation in the conversation was not planned, but his presence could be of great importance for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the fights in eastern Ukraine escalate. Russian troops continue to carry out violent attacks, and the Ukrainian defenders make bitter resistance. Numerous attacks have been reported in the past few days, while the civilian population suffers from air strikes. Several buildings were damaged in Odessa and Charkiw, which further tightened the tense situation.

In addition, the US government approved the use of armaments companies in Ukraine to support the Ukrainian armed forces in maintaining and repairing US weapons. This decision could be crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the Ukrainian defense while the fights continue.
