Ukrainians weigh hope and concern over Trump's election and its impact on military support
Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines are cautiously optimistic about Donald Trump's election as U.S. president. They hope for continued military support, despite concerns that his presidency may alter American backing for Ukraine amid ongoing Russian aggression. While Trump previously provided military aid to Ukraine, he has expressed skepticism about U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts. His relationship with Russia and comments about Ukraine's leadership have raised questions about future support for Kyiv. In Kyiv, some residents expect potential territorial concessions under Trump, viewing this as more realistic than the current administration's approach. NATO allies are also monitoring the situation closely, with discussions on Ukraine's support already underway.
