In his latest address, a well-known commentator analyzes Donald Trump’s recent suggestion that the US may impose sanctions against Ukraine. These comments are in line with Trump’s ongoing strategy to pressure Kyiv and push for compromise with Russia.
Trump has criticized Ukraine’s leadership, hinting that Kyiv is partly to blame for the outset of the war. He claims he could end the conflict “within 24 hours”, but Russia’s actions and statements contradict this. The Kremlin currently refuses concessions and presents Ukraine with ultimatums, demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from occupied territories.
Meanwhile, the US government is setting new deadlines to resolve multiple international conflicts, including the Russian-Ukrainian war. However, Russian officials publicly deny plans to halt military operations or engage in productive dialogue, while daily Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities like Sumy and Kherson illustrate continued escalation.
The article also highlights the dangers of wishful thinking among some Ukrainian officials and the public regarding a “freeze” in the conflict. The expert stresses the urgent need for military reform and genuine support for Ukrainian soldiers, noting the importance of drone supply initiatives on the frontline.
In conclusion, Ukraine faces a protracted war as Russia shows no willingness for meaningful peace. Strengthening defenses and broad public support for the armed forces remain Ukraine’s best security guarantee.
