Ukrainians Skeptical as Trump Shifts Stance on Russia-Ukraine Conflict

News summary

Ukrainians have responded with skepticism and cautious hope to President Donald Trump's recent rhetorical shift, where he expressed belief that Ukraine could reclaim all territory occupied by Russia despite his previous stance advocating territorial concessions for peace. Many Ukrainians doubt Trump's commitment due to his inconsistent past statements, including blaming Ukraine for the invasion and reluctance to increase U.S. military aid, leading to mistrust about whether he will back his words with concrete actions or tougher sanctions against Russia. Some citizens see potential in Trump's new rhetoric and hope it will translate into real support, but acknowledge Ukraine remains heavily reliant on NATO and European allies for military and financial assistance. Experts note that while Trump's comments indicate some understanding of the conflict's complexity and frustration with Putin, he maintains strategic ambiguity, seemingly shifting responsibility to Europe to lead support efforts. European leaders have welcomed the shift but stress the need for Europe to become more sovereign and fulfill its commitments to Ukraine amid the ongoing war. Overall, despite Trump's verbal support, there is little indication that the U.S. will significantly increase its direct backing, leaving Ukraine's struggle and the conflict's resolution uncertain.
