Ukrainian soldiers have called Donald Trump's decision to suspend military aid crucial to them fighting Vladimir Putin's forces as a "betrayal" that they couldn't have foreseen even in their worst dreams.
One officer, a colonel who uses the call sign "Roman" and is close to Ukraine’s military general staff – with special responsibility for weapons procurement – said: “Nobody predicted that Trump would do something like this. We thought that there would be understanding from his administration about Ukraine’s situation and a comprehension of who was the aggressor and who was the victim. I couldn’t imagine this happening even in a nightmare.
