Trumps former adviser Bolton praised the US presidents statementsBolton said that allowing Russia to encroach on Ukraines sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to help in its fight, and then sell out Ukrainians by agreeing to lose their territory and security guarantees or NATO membership is unacceptable.By making these and other concessions before the negotiations even began, Trump effectively surrendered to Putin on the issue of Ukraine.The former adviser to the American president noted that he had warned many times that Trump would favor Russia in negotiations between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
Russias military performance has been pathetic, but Trump justifies Putins decision to invade.
Bolton believes that the damage to US security interests will extend far beyond Central Europe, as our adversaries in the Middle East and the IndoPacific region clearly see.U.S.
leaders must unequivocally support Ukraine and all NATO allies who support Kyiv.
It is not in our national interest to allow the Kremlins unprovoked aggression against Ukraine to prevail.
The Trump administration should be ashamed.On February 12, the new US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, stated that returning Ukraines borders to those that existed before 2014 was not a realistic goal, and stated that the US did not consider Ukraines membership in NATO a realistic outcome of a peaceful resolution to the war.
Trump spoke with Putin that same day.
Following the talks, the American president said that he and the illegitimate Russian president agreed that they want to stop the millions of deaths that are happening in the war with Russia/Ukraine.
That same evening, Zelensky said he discussed further contacts with Trump during the call.
According to him, the long conversation with Trump was about the possibility of achieving peace, the willingness to work together at the team level.
