Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelensky have led to a surge in Ukrainian unity
LA TimesThere is a renewed sense of unity in Ukraine. — Ukrainian military officer “Yes, he’s not a perfect president, but he’s not a dictator,” said Kateryna Karaush, a 25-year-old tech worker from Kyiv who like many Ukrainians — and even some Republicans in Congress — is struggling to wrap her head around Trump’s embrace of Russia, which represents a major about-face in U.S. foreign policy. After Trump falsely called Zelensky a “dictator” — for legally postponing an election last year — and as reports emerged of U.S. and Russian officials meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a possible cease-fire without input from Ukraine, even some of Zelensky’s domestic opponents have begun defending him. “And to publicly criticize him too, because, in the end, he is our elected leader.” Trump’s harsh words for Zelensky have drawn criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans in the U.S. Congress, where defending Ukraine from Russia — with tens of billions of dollars in military aid — has had bipartisan support. “The U.S. and Russia are now united in promoting the idea of ‘elections first, then peace’ — which is the quickest and cheapest way to bring Ukraine down.” Support from Europe as Russia continues attacks European governments, uneasy about being sidelined so far in talks between U.S. and Russian officials, have jumped to shore up Zelensky.
