Blame Russia, Not Zelenskyy, for the Ukraine War's Endless Slog

1 sources →

Following a failed attempt to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war in 2025, President Donald Trump has expressed frustration over the conflict's impact on global energy prices and U.S. economic interests. In response to a recently failed 'energy ceasefire,' reports suggest the U.S. may be restricting Ukraine's access to Starshield satellite systems and considering a halt to intelligence sharing regarding Russian bombing targets. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed feelings of betrayal, while critics argue the U.S. is unfairly pressuring Ukraine instead of the aggressor, Russia, despite significant U.S. aid totaling $185 billion.
