War against Ukraine: Understanding at the expense of Ukraine: Trump approaches Moscow
Trump has often stabbed Zelensky in the back, and some experts see a new quality in his current course. Is the US President completely giving up Ukraine because of the consequences of the Iran war?
US President Donald Trump has made agreements with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, seemingly drawing closer to him, while leaving Ukraine, which is facing a severe war winter, to fend for itself. Trump's administration has taken steps that benefit Russia, including temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and halting planned new sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed disappointment, stating that the US decision to halt new sanctions against Russia "helps only the Russians." The Ukraine relies heavily on US support, including data on potential Russian attacks and satellite internet connectivity provided by Elon Musk's SpaceX.
