Whoever wins the US presidential election, Kyiv can count on more decisive support than under the current administration, experts say.
The idea that the candidate of the Republican Party for the President of the US Donald Trump will take the side of Vladimir Putin in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and Kamala Harris will continue the policies of Joe Biden, is wrong. Whoever wins the US presidential election, Kyiv can count on more decisive support than under the current administration. More recently, Trump has supported Kyiv through actions and words. Politico wrote this on Monday, August 5.
The idea that Trump’s return to the White House will benefit Moscow is based on several observations:
-
Trump says he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, but no one knows how. Trump spoke in his characteristic way, making loud, unsubstantiated statements.
-
Trump aides reportedly prepared a plan: Kyiv was told that if it did not make concessions, military aid would stop, and Moscow was told that if it did not make concessions, the United States would arm in Kyiv on the teeth. But what might be the result of such pressure is not clear.
-
Republicans in Congress for six months have not allowed the passage of a law allocating more than $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine; Trump is reportedly pressuring them – but he mainly wants to tie this aid to US border reform, which is important to him and voters.
-
Trump is more loyal to dictators: during his first presidency, he met with Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping and paid them compliments – but in the end he did not make significant concessions, and the sanctions against Russia was tightened.
-
Trump chose James David Vance as his vice presidential candidate, believing that the United States does not care about Ukraine, but this is only one aspect of Vance’s views: he was elected for the domestic, not the foreign policy reasons.
The first foreign leader Trump called after announcing Vance’s selection and official nomination as the Republican presidential candidate was Zelensky, said Politico commentary editor, Politico Europe co-founder and international expert work that Matthew Kaminsky. And he added:
“People familiar with the details of their conversation say that everything went better than the official warm analysis of their conversation might suggest.”
According to them, Trump called the message that he would help Putin “fake news” and promised Zelensky to seek a just peace.
Let’s recall that earlier Russian media reported that US presidential candidate Donald Trump congratulated Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on the agreement to exchange prisoners with Western countries.
