Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Helsinki, Finland, July 16, 2018
EA-Times Radio VideoCast: Can Putin Sustain His Invasion to Conquer Ukraine?
Ukraine War, Day 1,230: US to Resume Arms Supplies to Kyiv
I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale on Tuesday for a 30-minute analysis of Donald Trump’s latest flip-flop over Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
On Monday Trump called for defensive weapons to Ukraine as the Pentagon undid Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s suspension of aid to Kyiv. After his Thursday call with Putin and Friday’s with Ukraine Presiden Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump criticized the Russian leader for continuing deadly attacks, particularly on Ukrainian civilians.
But does Trump finally realize that Putin will not accept a genuine ceasefire and give up his ambition to conquer Ukraine? And there are enough “adults in the room” in the Administration to firmly establish US support of Ukrainian resistance?
