Ukraine is seeking more military support from the West as Russia plans a new offensive, potentially involving North Korean troops. President Zelenskyy is urging allies for missiles and permission to strike back into Russia. The U.S. has been a key supporter of Ukraine since Russia's invasion began nearly three years ago. However, with a new isolationist president, Donald Trump, set to take office, there are concerns about future U.S. support. Trump's approach may lead to a shift in U.S. policy, potentially favoring negotiations with Russia. This could result in significant changes for Ukraine and impact global perceptions of U.S. commitment to its allies.
