Garry Kasparov has intensified his criticism of political figures in the United States, warning that individuals aligned with Donald Trump are treating the Russia–Ukraine war as a personal business venture rather than a global security crisis.
Speaking before diplomats, defence officials and policy leaders at the Halifax International Security Forum, Kasparov said Ukraine's fate is being reduced to a transactional opportunity for political and financial gain, accusing Trump's allies of pushing proposals that would 'sell Ukraine' while enabling Russian expansionism.
