In this interview, Ukrainian political experts discuss Donald Trump's latest statements on Ukraine. The changing tone of the former US president is noted: Trump no longer calls for easing sanctions against Russia, but instead signals a possible increase if Vladimir Putin does not agree to concessions within the set timeframe.
The main topic is a new model of military aid for Ukraine after the current US support package is completed. This concept proposes the sale of US weapons to Ukraine with European funding, aimed at ensuring long-term support amid the ongoing conflict.
Sanctions are also addressed: experts mention past concerns that Washington might compromise with Moscow. Now, the idea is to introduce new sanctions not only against Russia but also countries that purchase Russian oil, intensifying economic pressure on Moscow.
Geopolitical tensions between the US and China, and the interdependence of Russia and China in the context of global confrontation with the West, remain important. Experts emphasize the outcome of the war will determine Europe's political alignment for decades.
In the second part, the interview covers responses from European leaders, notably Germany, about NATO security guarantees, defense cooperation, and Ukrainian legislative actions such as the multiple citizenship law, intended to maintain ties with the diaspora.
In conclusion, experts highlight the complex outlook for the war, the importance of US and European support, and the need for enhanced domestic security amid unpredictable circumstances.
