Despite the hopes of US allies, President-elect Donald Trump may show indifference to the fate of Ukraine. This was written by The Economist.
According to The Economist, if Kiev is defeated, Donald Trump is likely to shift responsibility to the current Biden administration without taking the blame for the failure.
‘If Trump’s priority remains a settlement – of any kind – he may simply cut off aid to Ukraine and demand that it accept Russia’s demands,’ the article notes.
While some Ukrainian officials have expressed support for Trump, concerns about his stance remain.
The publication notes that allies’ confidence in the newly elected US president’s support for Ukraine is based more on wishful thinking than on real guarantees.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is trying to attract US companies to co-operation by offering exclusive access to Ukrainian deposits of rare minerals, the article notes.
We shall remind you that the Bloomberg agency earlier quoted experts as saying that European countries will not be able to replace Kiev’s largest sponsor the USA in the near future, no matter what they do.
