Disbelief and anger: Ukrainians react to Trump's 'absurdity'

Raw Story  

by Andrii KALCHENKO Three years into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian soldier Ivan Banias has found himself struggling to digest the "absurdity" of what US President Donald Trump is saying about the war, his country and his president. - 'Very, very wrong' - Trump's call to Putin and plans to meet him have broken almost three years of the Russian leader being isolated by the West for his Ukraine invasion. Wearing a white hat and fur coat, 65-year-old Svitlana was also in disbelief that the leader of the United States could fall for "Moscow's narratives." "Since only a month has passed since the president changed in the United States, I think that Trump's policy at the expense of Ukraine is still unknown," the 20-year-old said.
