Summary
Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”
Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.
You don’t know much about Europe do you, this was the final nail in the coffin of Atlanticism.
Well then, do enlighten me? Who’s going to step up providing aid to Ukraine once US stops?
Europe has been fucking pumping money into Ukraine. Now we need to start pumping arms in. It is ludicrous to imagine that this hasn’t been prepared for. The only question is whether our arms production capacity will be enough or ramp up quickly enough.
Everyone but Hungary and Serbia? Though Serbia is also fickle because Russia’s annexation of the people’s republics legitimises Kosovo’s independence – if you can gain statehood unilaterally with a BS referendum, you can definitely do it with a proper one. Hungary will only last as long as Orban, and he seems to be past his prime.
Or where you somehow under the impression that Europe is standing by idly while the US is doing all the work? They’re providing surplus military equipment from their to-be-scrapped pile, that’s pretty much it.
