"I don't think President [Donald] Trump is going to walk away from Ukraine,"
"The reality is this war continues because Putin wants it to,"
"So far nothing has convinced him that he will never succeed. So, he keeps trying."

Kurt Volker rejected suggestions that the United States is preparing to abandon Kyiv and stated that President Trump is unlikely to walk away from Ukraine. Trump has made ending the war a high priority and is urging European countries to boost defense spending and purchase US weapons for Ukraine. European responses include the "Coalition of the Willing" summit. The war continues because Vladimir Putin believes he can still prevail. Increasing military support for Ukraine and tightening financial pressure on Russia, including curbing oil and gas revenues, are necessary to push Putin toward a ceasefire. US actions in Venezuela could influence Russian claims over Ukraine.
