Today’s episode was intended as a livestream, but technical difficulties led to this recorded edition. We discuss former US President Donald Trump’s unexpectedly pro-Ukrainian statement in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, which sparked wide reactions.
Trump stated that Ukraine, with ongoing EU and NATO support, could restore its original borders, noting Russia’s economic difficulties and challenges exposed by the prolonged war.
Analysts note that this position contrasts with Trump’s previous statements, as his rhetoric has shifted depending on political context and interactions with leaders like Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin. Now, Trump emphasizes European countries’ roles in supporting Ukraine.
Skepticism remains over whether Trump or the US will directly aid Ukraine with weapons. Most of the burden is expected to fall on European allies. The article highlights the need for the West to effectively respond to Russian attacks and ensure regional defense preparedness.
The author stresses the importance of supporting the Ukrainian military and realistically assessing political statements. The war continues, and concrete US and partner actions, as well as internal Ukrainian reforms and mobilization, will be decisive.
Testimonies from soldiers and volunteers underscore the need for modern drones and equipment on the frontline, with public support remaining crucial.
The main conclusion is not to rely solely on external help and to be prepared to defend Ukraine’s independence through personal and collective efforts.
