According to Politico sources, in a phone conversation, Trump told Zelensky that the idea that he would help Putin is “fake news” and promised to seek a just world.
Journalists from an influential American publication politics they discovered new details about a secret conversation between Donald Trump and the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. The author of the material, Matthew Kaminsky, writes in that article Ukraine need not fear the election of Trump to the president. Moreover, the victory of any candidate (Trump or Harris) will allow Ukraine to “breathe a sigh of relief.”
The material reports after announcing his candidacy for the presidency Zelensky was Trump’s first so-called foreign director. People familiar with the details claim that everything went even better than the warm reviews of their conversation suggested. According to that, Trump told Zelensky the following: the idea that he would help Putin is “fake news” and promised to seek a just world.
“The fact that Trump was a good decision means that the conflict with Zelensky is old news. – said John Herbst, former US ambassador to Ukraine, to a Politico journalist.
At the same time, Trump’s ego is using a rational approach to Ukraine that borders on internationalism. He had it the administration armed them with Javelin mobile anti-tank missile systems in 2017, who saved the country two years ago when Putin started the war. Barack Obama refused to arm them after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and started a proxy conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Zelensky and his people also see allies of Ukraine in Trump’s orbit and working to gain support from three of them: former head of the National Security Council Robert O’BrienSecretary of State Pompeo’s mother and a Senator from Arkansas Tom Cotton. All three have been named in discussions about national security posts in the second Trump administration.
It is worth noting that Pompeo co-authored an op-ed with David Urban in The Wall Street Journal last week outlining an ambitious plan to support Ukraine, including NATO membership.
All the usual Trump caveats apply here. No one knows what Trump will do, often not even Trump himself. The constants of his decade on the world stage have been unpredictability, a pragmatic rather than principled approach to international affairs and a penchant for personalizing politics.
Let’s remember that President Zelensky and Donald Trump were earlier we talked on the phone. After the conversation, the Republican issued a statement.
