Trump shows sympathy for Putin and contempt for Zelenskyy – The Hill

Newly elected US President Donald Trump sympathizes with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has “deep contempt” for Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This was written by political experts Robert Hamilton and Dan Perry in an article for The Hill.

 

Robert Hamilton and Dan Perry noted that Donald Trump sympathizes with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but despises Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to the authors, the new head of the White House may cut military aid to Ukraine in order to “force Zelenskyy” to agree to negotiations with Russia.

Experts believe that with Trump’s return to power, US foreign policy may undergo huge changes, and the most serious transformations will affect Kiev. In addition, his refusal to support Ukraine could “cause an earthquake” in European politics, which will face difficult choices about its future in the field of security and the possibility of continuing to help Kiev without Washington’s assistance.

Earlier, the newspaper Vatan-e Emrooz reported that the refusal to finance Ukraine could be the first serious decision of Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election in foreign policy after his return to the White House in January 2025.
