In Brighton Beach, a Brooklyn neighborhood with a significant Slavic population, many Ukrainian voters supported Trump despite his recent aggressive criticisms of Ukraine's President Zelensky. This has left some residents feeling conflicted. Igor Moshchinsky, a Trump supporter, acknowledged the harshness of Trump's approach yet agreed with the criticisms. City councilwoman Inna Vernikov expressed concern over the meeting's implications for Ukraine and emphasized the need for cooperation to ensure the safety and sovereignty of Ukraine. Immigrant Inna Kir praised Trump's stance, adding another layer to the mixed sentiments in the community.
His approach may come across a bit too aggressive, Igor Moshchinsky, 61, said of Mr. Trump at a cafe on Brighton Beach Avenue on Saturday afternoon. But Mr. Moshchinsky, who voted for Mr. Trump, said I don't disagree with the content of Mr. Trump's criticisms of Mr. Zelensky.
The consequences of Friday's meeting could be disastrous for both countries. Working together to end this war and help the people of Ukraine restore their safety and sovereignty is in the best interests of both of our countries and the world, she said.
Inna Kir, a Ukrainian immigrant who owns a lingerie shop, applauded President Trump's attack on President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.
