Roman Kostenko, Ukrainian MP and Security Service Colonel, shared his opinions on Espreso TV.“With his statements, Trump is scaring Putin. I believe this is Trump’s final step, as he wanted to win this war very quickly. Now Trump sees that Putin is deceiving him. He pulled Putin out of isolation, halted arms supplies to Ukraine, and now the whole world sees America as less strong than before. But Putin does not give in. I think the strategy of intimidation and ultimatums toward Putin is extremely wrong. We remember that European partners issued such ultimatums, but two days later Putin struck Kyiv and Ukraine again,” Kostenko recalled.According to the colonel, Putin cannot be intimidated by ultimatums — action is needed. And the most interesting thing is that the time will come when action is required. When it comes to providing Tomahawks, it should not be one, two, ten, or even a hundred.“Tomahawk is not just a missile that can strike Russian territory. It is a geopolitical weapon, a carrier of nuclear warheads. Russia may perceive them not simply as conventional weapons, but as nuclear-capable delivery systems. Accordingly, the reaction may not only be in Ukraine, but also in regions important to the United States.So now Trump has raised the stakes very high. We will watch how Russia reacts. And the most interesting question is, if Russia does not react at all, how will the United States respond? Will they go further and fulfill their promises?” Kostenko concluded.A potential meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy could indicate Trump's willingness to establish a relationship of trust, contingent upon the fulfillment of specific requirements.
