A source in the Ukrainian government believes that Trump “can’t stand” Ukraine, – The Economist

U.S. President Donald Trump “cannot stand” Ukraine.

This information reported according to a report by the British magazine The Economist, citing a source within the Ukrainian government.

This conclusion was drawn by the official based on the situation in which the halt of U.S. aid coincided with Russia’s successful offensive in the Kursk region, which effectively eliminated the Ukrainian foothold there.

The source is convinced that this was not a mere coincidence. In his view, the Russians would not have agreed to a ceasefire—something Trump has been promoting—without regaining their territories in Kursk. He also believes that “the American president was trying to make Ukraine more compliant by depriving it of potential leverage in negotiations that could have been used for future territorial exchanges.”

“It is clear that Trump cannot stand us. And in just seven weeks, we have turned from allies into mere clients, largely burdened with imaginary debts,” the source told the publication.

It is worth noting that many military experts do not see a direct connection between the halt in arms supplies and the retreat of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. Ukrainian military sources reported that the conditions for this collapse had been set as early as February when Russian forces disrupted logistics in Sudzha.
