If Ukraine Loses, Trump Will Blame Biden - Media.
According to information from internal sources, President Trump is considering the possibility of reducing aid to Ukraine in order to satisfy Russia's demands and reach any agreement. However, some experts believe that this move would be detrimental to both the U.S. and Trump himself.
The president fears that a Ukrainian defeat could negatively impact his popularity, just as the tragic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan in 2021 caused problems for President Joe Biden.
According to expert Eric Ciaramella from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, who previously worked in the White House during Trump's administration: 'The isolationist wing of the Republican Party is gaining strength.'
Trump may try to achieve a quick deal using the tactics of 'carrot for Ukraine and stick for Russia': a proposal to lift sanctions on Russia and the threat of halting weapon supplies to Ukraine. If Ukraine suffers a defeat, Trump will simply blame Biden for it.
'The destruction of Ukraine is not an inevitable consequence, despite the likelihood that Russian aggression will escalate in the coming weeks. The Biden administration is accelerating the shipment of weapons in the final weeks of its tenure, spending funds authorized by Congress, and sending everything to the front' - writes The Economist.
