Why Ukraine Still Isn't About to Lose
Briefly

The article examines the implications of Donald Trump's presidency for Ukraine, highlighting his controversial actions and rhetoric towards President Volodymr Zelenskyy. While seeking a ceasefire, Trump's statements have undermined Ukraine's sovereignty and complicated its support from the U.S. Despite initial Russian military gains, their momentum on the battlefield has slowed, attributed to adverse weather conditions and troop exhaustion. With a reduction in U.S. backing and Europe's struggle to compensate, analysts express concern over the future stability of Ukraine and the ongoing conflict.
Trump's controversial approach to Ukraine has left the country in a precarious situation, as he labeled Zelenskyy a 'dictator' and sought to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty.
