npr.org —
President Trump has shifted U.S. policy by criticizing Ukraine's President Zelenskyy and suggesting Ukraine is to blame for the ongoing war with Russia. This marks a departure from the U.S. support Ukraine has received over the past three years. Trump's recent comments include calling Zelenskyy a "dictator" and urging him to act quickly. He has also reached out to Russia, indicating a desire for a ceasefire and potential meetings with Russian President Putin, which has surprised many in Ukraine. Ukrainians are alarmed by Trump's stance, feeling it undermines their sovereignty. While some U.S. Republicans continue to support Ukraine, others express concern over Trump's alignment with Russian interests.
