After Trump’s fiery row with Zelenskyy, Russia heaps praise on US leader

Meanwhile, Europeans are considering how to replace the US with raised defence commitments to Ukraine, boots on the ground and a shared nuclear deterrent. But I also don’t want my son to go and fight in five years.” Trump’s administration ‘clearly sides with Russia’ “There is no longer any pretence that the administration clearly sides with Russia,” said retired US general Ben Hodges, who commanded US forces in Europe from 2014 to 2018. “This is a huge strategic mistake for the United States because our European allies are going to come together, they are going to help Ukraine either win or at least get to a much better situation, and Europe will have done it without us and despite us and we will have lost great influence and great credibility,” Hodges said. Trump called his predecessor “a stupid president” for giving Ukraine “350 billion dollars” – a figure approximately three times what Zelenskyy, Biden and the EU say the US has provided. Ukraine will not collapse – they already experienced an aid cutoff last year, but the effect will be cumulative.” France’s President Emmanuel Macron went even further in replacing US security guarantees in Europe.
