US presidential candidate Donald Trump has promised Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy to achieve a just peace for our country, but there are nuances. This was reported by Komersant ukrainskyi
reports with reference to the an article by By Matthew Kaminsky in Politico.
The article states that as of now, Donald Trump and his possible vice president, J.D. Vance, are promising a quick end to the conflict and a reduction in US support for Ukraine and NATO. And Kamala Harris promises continuity of Joe Biden’s policy, providing Ukraine with gradual but significant assistance.
But Matthew Kaminsky urges not to draw premature conclusions. Donald Trump’s victory does not automatically spell disaster for Ukraine. Among the possible allies of Ukraine in Trump’s team are former National Security Council Chairman O’Brien, former Secretary of State Pompeo, and Senator Cotton of Arkansas. The author also reminds that Trump, despite his isolationist views, has already provided military assistance to Ukraine, having supplied FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile systems in 2017.
In addition, the publication writes that Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a telephone conversation. In the conversation, the US presidential candidate called reports that he would help Putin “fake news” and promised Zelenskyy to seek a just peace.
