Trump accused of undermining Ukraine amid aid cuts
A Ukrainian official has claimed that former President Donald Trump "can't stand" Ukraine. This statement reflects concerns that U.S. support for Ukraine is changing. Ukrainian leaders worry that Washington now sees them more as a "customer" rather than a close ally. Officials in Kyiv believe that recent reductions in U.S. military aid are aimed at weakening Ukraine in its negotiations with Russia. In the past, Trump has clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, even requesting that Ukraine return U.S. funds and halting military assistance. Meanwhile, Trump is set to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid ongoing discussions about the Ukraine conflict. This has sparked additional worries in Europe about the intentions behind the talks. Ukrainian President Zelensky has urged the world to pressure Russia for a resolution. Trump’s past statements and decisions may affect the U.S. stance on Ukraine, increasing political tensions on both sides.
