Trump Is Stringing Ukraine Along
Briefly

Trump's recent decision to permit the transfer of American Patriot anti-missile systems to Ukraine aims to bolster its air defense amid ongoing threats. President Zelensky has proposed a closer military collaboration with the U.S. as a result. However, Trump's other decisions, such as allowing Putin time to negotiate and delaying sanctions, have created challenges for Ukraine. While the Ukrainian forces face persistent Russian attacks and difficult circumstances, Trump's support appears insufficient to ensure a decisive advantage in the ongoing conflict.
Trump allowed the transfer of a number of American Patriot anti-missile systems through Germany to Ukraine, aiming to strengthen Ukraine's air defense during a critical period.
The Ukrainians are pleased with this offer, prompting President Zelensky to propose an expanded military relationship in exchange for arms sales.
Despite providing some support, Trump's actions have left Ukrainian defenses overstretched and delayed potential sanctions against Russia, which undermines their efforts.
Russia has continued its bombardment of Ukrainian cities without engaging in real negotiations, while Trump has expressed outrage but failed to implement decisive actions against them.
