+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Russland meldet schweren Angriff auf Kiew

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed deep concern over the potential alignment of the United States with Russia, stating that Ukraine could not survive if the US sided with Russia. According to Zelensky in an NBC interview, a withdrawal of US support for Ukraine would be a "historic mistake and a great tragedy." He also criticized the US interference in Ukrainian warfare against Russia, citing the reduction of Starlink satellite network bandwidth, which he believed was intended to hinder Ukrainian counterattacks.

However, he noted that the US government has resumed sharing intelligence updates with Ukraine, though this only includes early warning data for ballistic missile launches, provided by the US military. Zelensky refrained from commenting on Trump's personal character, stating that Ukraine is a strategic partner, but they cannot applaud those who turn against Ukraine.

Trump's assertion that he could negotiate better with Kremlin head Vladimir Putin than with Zelensky, he added, meant that Putin was "a killer," and it was better to have a "clear and honest partner" over a killer with a friendly smile. He expressed hope that Trump would soon change his stance on Putin.
