In a recent debate, former President Trump's remarks about his relationship with Putin and the potential implications for Ukraine have raised concerns in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Ukrainians fear that any negotiations led by Trump could result in a surrender by Ukraine, leading to territorial losses. The Ukrainians remain steadfast in their goal to regain all their territory and defeat the Russian invasion.
Secretary of State Blinken, along with the British foreign secretary, expressed support for Ukraine, but there was no clear commitment to easing restrictions on long-distance weapons for Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. The Ukrainians are particularly concerned about the transfer of ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia, emphasizing the need for advanced weaponry to counter this threat.
