Politico: Trump Claims It Was ‘Fake News’ That He’d Help Putin

He also promised Zelensky to push for just peace.

The idea that the Republican candidate for US President Donald Trump will play on Vladimir Putin's side in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and Kamala Harris will continue Joe Biden's policies, is wrong. Whoever wins the US presidential election, Kyiv can count on more decisive support than under the current administration. Recently, Trump has supported Kyiv with his actions and words. Politico wrote about this on Monday, August 5.

The opinion that Trump's return to the White House will be beneficial to Moscow is based on several observations:

— Trump said that he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, but no one knows how this can be done. Trump spoke in his characteristic manner, making a loud, baseless statement.

— It was reported that Trump's aides had prepared a plan: they told Kyiv that if it did not make concessions, military aid would be cut off, and they told Moscow that if it did not make concessions, the US would arm Kyiv to the teeth. But it is unclear what the result of such pressure might be.

— Republicans in Congress did not allow a law on the allocation of more than $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine to be passed for six months; it was reported that Trump was pressuring them — but he primarily wanted to link this aid to border control reform in the US, which is important to him and voters.

— Trump is more loyal to dictators: during his first presidency, he met with Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping and complimented them — but ultimately did not make significant concessions, and sanctions against Russia were tightened.

— Trump chose James David Vance as his vice-presidential candidate, who believes that the United States does not care about Ukraine, but this is only one aspect of Vance’s views: he was elected for domestic, not foreign policy reasons.

After choosing Vance and claiming the nomination, the first foreign leader that Trump called was Volodymyr Zelensky, notes Politico's commentary editor, co-founder of Politico Europe and international affairs expert Matthew Kaminsky. He adds:

“People who are familiar with the details insist it went even better than the warm readouts from their conversation.”

According to them, Trump told Zelensky it was “fake news” that he’d help Putin and promised to push for a just peace.
