“According to the expert, the US President acknowledged that the Russian dictator had played it.”, – WRITE: www.unian.ua
At the same time, it is unknown whether the war with Trump’s current position on Ukraine / UNIAN’s collage, UNIAN photo will change dramaticallyThe new view of US President Donald Trump on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a break with the past. The respect of the American leader to the President of the Russian Federation, whose decision he called “smart” and “brilliant”, is sharply different from his comments about Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, with whom he had a scandal in the White House. About it writes a professor of international relations in the city college of New York and a senior researcher at the Institute of Research of War and Peace. Saltzman of Columbia University Rajan Menon for The Guardian.
Back in February, Trump stated that the invasion of the Russian Federation was irrelevant to the United States, because, compared to Europe, they are separated from Ukraine by “great, great beautiful oceans.” He also criticized the assistance of Ukraine provided by former President Joe Biden, calling it a waste of taxpayers’ money.
“Now Trump not only changed his gaze to Putin, stunning many in his movement” America above all “; he decided to start weapons Ukraine. Well, like that. Trump went on, actually recognizing that Putin had overheated him. He decided to sell military equipment to his plans to Ukraine, and material.
In addition, Trump warned Putin that if he did not agree to the ceasefire, after 50 days Russia will be made 100% duties as well as countries that will continue to trade with it after the expiration.
“Two things are obvious. First, Trump’s view of Putin has changed, unexpectedly and sharply. Secondly, the war that Trump once said that it is not a matter of America is now obvious. The President has stated that European countries will buy” state-of-the-arts ” Plan “, the total amount will be $ 10 billion,” Menon emphasized.
According to the professor, all this looks like a big deal, but it is important in this case to go beyond the headings and loud statements and delve into the details.
“Take a figure of $ 10 billion. This is definitely not a penny. Moreover, the basic unit of equipment in question is the Patriot missile defense system -” great range, great height, all -height ” – will give desperately necessary help to the inhabitants of the Ukrainian cities. rockets that break over the overloaded defense, “the scientist explained.
Another system mentioned is the combined anti-lacquet of “Jassm), which has stealth technology and GPS-pointing with a radius of action of 370 kilometers.
“Ukraine will be able to use its F-16 American fighters to launch Jassm into Russia from positions that are unattainable for Russian air defense systems for Russian. $ 10 billion can be quickly exhausted, “the expert said.
Menon recalled that Trump did not assure that after the cost of $ 10 billion there would be the next sales in favor of Ukraine.
“A 50 -day deadline set by Trump allows Putin to continue his summer offensive and can even be an incentive for his acceleration.
At the same time, secondary Trump will harm Russia, which earned $ 1924 in 2024 on world oil exports and related goods, most of which received the country from India and China.
“If the President fulfills his threat, Beijing will undoubtedly answer, and the consequences will be painful: the US exports to China amounted to $ 144 billion last year. Will Trump go for it in any case, and even during his trade wars, which have already started raising prices in the US?
Therefore, according to Menon, it is too early to conclude that it is a turning point that can change the course of war.
“Washington’s new policy can be much less fateful than Magna’s critics are afraid, and not as transformational as Kiev and his Western supporters hope,” the message said.
Trump and Ukraine are the latest newsAccording to UNIAN, the former adviser to US President John Bolton said that Trump wants to distance himself from Ukraine and prepares ways of retreat. According to him, recent decisions of the US President on Ukraine are showing annoyance because of the involvement in the war he considers the case of Europe.
“Paradoxically, its evasion demonstrates how the political and military alliances can work effectively: transferring resources between members for deployment in the most important areas. He did not lose political support – even among republicans who previously opposed military assistance to Ukraine,” Bolton said.
At the same time, the German Foreign Minister Johann Vadeful replied who tilted Trump to support Ukraine. He stressed that it was German Chancellor Friedrich Merz who played a key role in the US President’s decision to continue military assistance to Ukraine.
“This was largely the result of the Chancellor’s initiative. Friedrich Metz played an important role in this process, because from the very beginning he clearly stated his support of Ukraine,” the minister stressed.
