Trump's criticism of Zelensky may weaken Ukraine's support

Former President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a recent public statement, which aired prominently on Russian state television. This criticism may weaken Ukraine's support from the U.S. and its allies. Trump has called for a quick cease-fire in Ukraine, but his remarks suggest that Ukraine may need to continue fighting without American assistance if they do not agree. This could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin to escalate military actions. The situation marks a significant shift in U.S.-Ukraine relations, with potential implications for the ongoing conflict. Analysts warn that this could lead to increased Russian aggression and a longer war.
