“Joe Biden`s rhetoric of backing Ukraine “as long as it takes,” is “killing us softly” policy. Ukraine received just enough not to lose precipitously, but not enough to fight its way to actual victory. In this context, there appeared to be some collective openness to a Trump Presidency”.
Alyona Getmanchuk, Director of New Europe Center, commented for popular US magazine The New Yorker about attitude for Donald Trump Presidency inside Ukraine.
Alyona Getmanchuk said that just as U.S. pollsters once spoke of “shy” Trump voters, Kyiv is full of “shy” Trump supporters. It’s not that all these people necessarily prefer Trump. But he is certainly seen as less threatening than he is often portrayed. The main thing is that few in Kyiv welcomed a continuation of Biden’s approach.
