What Shifting U.S. Support May Mean for Ukraine
Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to discuss how Donald Trump’s dismissal of Russian aggression against Ukraine has prompted bipartisan backlash.
President Trump's dismissal of Russian aggression against Ukraine has sparked bipartisan criticism. Nancy A. Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic, highlighted during Washington Week With The Atlantic that the United States has previously limited the quantity of weapons it provides to Ukraine and failed to deliver promised interceptors this week.
Youssef explained that Ukraine faces two major challenges: inconsistent support from the United States and Europe's inability to step up and provide aid. Additionally, Russia is closer to Washington than ever, making the war more difficult for Ukraine. The discussion included Leigh Ann Caldwell, chief Washington correspondent at Puck; Stephen Hayes, editor and CEO of The Dispatch; Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House correspondent at The New York Times; and Youssef herself.
