Ukraine Has Finally Given Up on Trump

[yidnar]

No. They literally don't.

lies ..

 

[22lcidw]

Putin approves.

We keep Eastern Europe and we give Putin Western Europe. Agree!

 

[Manonthestreet]

Ran into a former Army Capt on my route. He had been to Ukraine, brought home a Ukrainian wife. His assessment was Uktainians really didn't give a damn about Ukraine.

How do you figure? Ukraine is only able to wage war because of the support America has given them.

To be fair … most of the money we’ve given them has gone straight into the pockets of legislators who approved the payouts.

For some in Congress, Russia invading The Ukraine is the best thing that ever happened to them.

In other words, Ukraine realizes that they cannot buy Trump the way they bought Biden.

Exactly. Biden’s money laundering operations in Ukraine is what started that war in the first place.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Yeah cause halting world trade wouldn't have any affect on anyone's economy......

Who halted it? It was flowing fine until we took our ass over there.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Good, the Uke Midget can kiss my ass.

eeeeyep.

I'm tired of being robbed at the barrel of a government gun to prop up all of these countries.

“For more than a year after Donald Trump returned to the White House, Ukraine held out hope—at least publicly—of winning him over. Trump, who revealed his affection for Russia’s Vladimir Putin again and again, largely halted American military aid to Kyiv. He insulted Ukrainian leaders regularly, personally berating President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office in February 2025. Nevertheless, Ukraine diligently took part in Trump’s peace negotiations, which were tilted to reward Putin’s invasion and turned out to be fruitless. Zelensky agreed to mineral deals that supposedly promised to enrich Americans. He even lavishly praised Trump himself. Despite Ukrainian leaders’ growing doubts, they calculated that speaking sweetly of the American president would do no harm and just might gain his favor.

But now Kyiv appears to have given up on the United States.”

Ukraine Has Finally Given Up on Trump

Zelensky has written off the United States.

This is yet another Trump foreign policy failure, yet another democratic ally Trump has abandoned to embrace the fascist despot Putin, and yet another example of the Trump regime’s incompetence and corruption.

Zelensky now knows Trump is an ally of Putin, that like Putin Trump believes that might makes right, and that Trump will do nothing to assist Ukraine in its fight against the war criminal Putin.

But Americans aren't dying. That's why democrats want. Dead Americans.

And Europe, and the bravery and innovation of the Ukrainian people.

They invented this second gen drone shit, and fighting it. Nothing says holy shit like them using single drones to drop hand grenades into Russian foxholes.

Without US assistance, Ukraine would likely face a rapid depletion of critical ammunition and air defenses, leading to severe battlefield losses and a probable shift toward an unfavorable ceasefire or negotiated settlement. While European aid could partially fill the gap, it is insufficient to replace U.S.-supplied air defense, drones, and artillery ammunition, likely empowering Russia to break the current stalemate by 2026

Can Ukraine Fight Without U.S. Aid? Seven Questions to Ask

A complete cutoff of U.S. aid would significantly harm Ukraine’s ability to fight Russia but would not necessarily lead to immediate defeat—and more limited cutoffs would have more limited effects on Ukraine’s battlefield performance.

Without US aid, Ukraine wouldn’t be able to fight very well. I’m not knocking Ukraine and their bravery, they are fighting a war against a powerful adversary, but when someone says that the United States needs to look to Ukraine for how to fight a war, I simply point out that the war they are fighting is because of the United States.

Trump basically ended all US support over a year ago.

Ukraine has revolutionized drone warfare.

We have stopped providing NEW assistance but they are still receiving substantial assistance from existing commitments.

As of April 2026, direct U.S. military assistance to Ukraine has dropped by 99% compared to previous years, with the Trump administration having halted new, significant weapons shipments. While substantial prior aid remains in the pipeline, the U.S. has shifted to a model where Europe funds weapons purchases, sometimes facilitated by the U.S..

Yet we have shipped extensive amounts of weapons to them

Your country didn't chip in much at all. Why not?

You mean the government dependent on the war never ending to receive more money realizes President Trump is done with their schemes and corruption.

The people of Ukraine are hoping President Trump makes Zelensky end this dumb war. They don’t want to fight Russia for land in a war they cannot win.

Where's the "democracy" in Ukraine?
Zelensky's term expired in May of 2024.
He's ruling by martial law and grifting million$.

Ukraine's Zelensky stays in power despite term expiring

 

[Seymour Flops]

It's a European problem. They should have seen the folly of depending on American largesse for their safety as soon as Obama let Russia invade Crimea and then Biden let Russia invade Ukraine.

The minute Trump was re-elected, Europe should have activated their plans to push Russia out of Ukraine and solved this problem.

Existing commitments from Europe. They are not getting shit from the US and have not been since 2025. Yet they are still kicking Russian ass.

Since Trump assumed office in January 2025, there has been no legislation or other authorizations of significant new aid to Ukraine. However, a substantial amount of the aid appropriated under the Biden administration is still in the pipeline, and deliveries of aid packages have continued, although on two occasions the Trump administration temporarily paused some deliveries. As of December 31, 2025, the U.S. had disbursed 58 percent of the $188 billion in spending related to the conflict (U.S. spending is first appropriated, then obligated, then disbursed). Nonetheless, the lack of new aid commitments means that U.S. aid deliveries are running out.

Aid is still going to then, and trump HAS sent some aid, and yes, the aid will run out, but as of right now, everything that was in the pipeline is still being sent.

You're ok with the one in Iran though.
