In a new statement, Congressman John Bekin criticized Donald Trump in the context of the war in Ukraine. Bekin noted that Trump not only encourages and rewards Moscow for its aggressive actions, but also provides no security guarantees for the future, raising concerns about further Russian moves.
The speaker highlights that American public support for Ukraine is increasing, contrary to Trump's position. Trump's strategy of quick business deals and profit-seeking with Moscow overlooks Europe's negative experience, which has already recognized its mistake in cooperating with Russia in the past. Trump urges Europe and Ukraine to agree to compromises that question Ukraine's sovereignty.
However, Europe has rejected such a strategy, refuses to buy Russian resources, and maintains sanctions. Despite pressure, Poland and Italy have chosen to support the common EU stance. European leaders understand the threat of revising the established order and borders, advocated by Trump.
The address also emphasizes the importance of providing Ukraine with weapons, drones, technological, and financial support. It stresses the role of sanctions against illegal movement of Russian vessels in the Black and Baltic Seas. Additionally, the need for reform within Ukraine and greater effectiveness in cooperation with the West is highlighted.
The article concludes with a call to continue supporting Ukraine, including fundraising for drones and other defense needs. The summary notes the increasing awareness among Europeans of the importance of countering Russian aggression and the strengthening of transatlantic unity.
