With Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at odds, fears grow that this shift may strengthen Russia’s position in the ongoing war. As Trump continues to chase political deals reminiscent of historical agreements, analysts warn of the ramifications for both Ukraine and European security.
