Of course it is, knowing they are no longer receiving any help from the U.S., of course it is "what anyone would do" when you leave someone hanging high and dry, someone we helped for years and has now been ghosted.
If it isn't obvious by now why Putin has tried to interfere in our elections, you are a hopelessly clueless human being.
President Donald Trump expressed understanding Friday for Russia’s stepped-up attacks on Ukraine after the White House halted military and intelligence aid to Kyiv this week, saying that he would resume help for the beleaguered country only when Ukrainian leaders agree that “they want to settle.”
The U.S. cutoff of aid to Ukraine has made the country significantly more vulnerable to Russian attack. With Kyiv no longer able to depend on U.S. intelligence assistance to aid its targeting or give it warning about Russian attacks, the Kremlin unloaded a massive missile assault on Ukraine overnight Thursday into Friday.
“I actually think he’s doing what anybody else would do,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Friday, when asked whether he was upset that Russian President Vladimir Putin was taking advantage of the U.S. halt in aid for Ukraine. “Probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now. He wants to get it ended. And I think Ukraine wants to get it ended, but I don’t see. It’s crazy. They’re taking tremendous punishment. I don’t quite get it.”
Trump was asked whether he would consider stepping up help for Ukraine in the face of the Russian assault by giving Kyiv more air defense munitions. That form of assistance would not enable further Ukrainian attacks on Russian positions but would be purely defensive.
Trump indicated he would not give Ukraine those defensive munitions. “I have to know that they want to settle. I don’t know that they want to settle. If they don’t want to settle, we’re out of there.”
Trump’s sympathetic comments toward Putin contrasted with his social media post hours earlier threatening “large scale” sanctions on Russia because of the attack. Trump said he also wanted the Kremlin to come to the table.
“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!”
Trump has rarely offered criticism of Putin, and when given the chance to expand upon his social media post during questions from reporters Friday in the Oval Office, he declined to do so. Instead, he said that he continued to believe Putin when the Russian leader says he wants peace.
“I believe him,” Trump said. “I think we’re doing very well with Russia, and right now they’re bombing the hell out of Ukraine. I’m finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine. They don’t have the cards.”

empire . With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the Bolshevik empire´s economy collapsed, and the Bolshevik empire itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde (Moscow empire ) budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 42.4 and higher
, many of our MAGA members dont understand TRUMP-Reagan strategical game against MOSCOW
