Until now, the ex-president of the USA has not taken such an openly anti-Ukrainian position.

Former US President Donald Trump launched an unprecedented campaign of criticism against the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi . With this, he gave the most powerful signal of all time that he will not help Ukraine fight off the Russian onslaught, writes Politico .

Speaking at a campaign event in North Carolina, Trump bluntly said that Ukraine should have “ceded a little” territory to appease Moscow and avoid a bloody conflict. At the same time, he directly reprimanded Volodymyr Zelenskyi.

“We continue to give billions of dollars to the man who refuses to make a deal, Zelensky,” Trump said in a long tirade.

As Politico points out, Trump has often argued that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he were president, and has repeatedly promised to negotiate an end to the conflict if he returns to the White House. 

Now Trump is threatening to cut aid to Kyiv if he wins the election. He also assured that he will not send American troops to “die” in Ukraine.

Trump criticized Zelensky for his unwillingness to accept Putin’s ultimatum

As UNIAN wrote, Donald Trump started an unprecedented public campaign of frank criticism of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi . The most loyal republicans will bow to him. In particular, Trump criticized Zelenskyi for his refusal under any conditions to “make a deal” with Russia and talked about the alleged complete destruction of Ukraine, which has already occurred because of this.

International politics expert Oleksandr Kraev told UNIAN that behind the sharp statements of Donald Trump and other Republicans is his lack of confidence in his own victory . Past experience shows that Trump begins to criticize Ukraine when he has problems with the rating.

  1. The mask has actually been off for 10 years; probably longer. A ruZZian agent hiding in plain sight. From the Ukrainian standpoint it is immaterial whether actual or defacto. But the naked, venomous hatred still has the power to shock.

  2. The Dangers of Donald Trump, From Those Who Know Him
    What 91 people who know the former president say about his character.

    In any election, it’s hard to know whose word to trust. And in a polarized country, many Americans distrust any information that comes from the other side of the political divide. That’s why the criticism of Donald Trump by those who served with him in the White House and by members of his own party is so striking. Dozens of people who know him well, including the 91 listed here, have raised alarms about his character and fitness for office — his family and friends, world leaders and business associates, his fellow conservatives and his political appointees — even though they had nothing to gain from doing so. Some have even spoken out at the expense of their own careers or political interests.

    The New York Times editorial board has made its case that Mr. Trump is unfit to lead. But the strongest case against him may come from his own people. For those Americans who are still tempted to return him to the presidency or to not vote in November, it is worth considering the assessment of Mr. Trump by those who have seen him up close.

    Includes a quote from President Zelensky:
    “Putin killed all the values which are — which we defend today. … That’s why I can’t understand how Donald Trump can be on the side of Putin. So for me, it’s something unbelievable.”
