On Putin's Side: Bild Reported How Trump Blackmails Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump is blackmailing Ukraine, claims the German publication BILD. They assert that the cessation of arms supply could have negative consequences for the Patriot system against Russian missiles and also lead to intelligence problems. Insiders report that Ukrainian President Zelensky has few options left, as missiles for the Patriot system cannot be quickly replaced from Europe. Zelensky hopes to receive support from Europe and to negotiate with the U.S. One insider even claims that Zelensky will sign whatever Trump wants.

Russia, for its part, is trying to thwart the European initiative to arm Ukraine. Russia rejoices in the rift between the U.S. and Europe. Powerful pressure may be put on the Ukrainian president if the front collapses and public sentiment turns against him. There are even calls for Zelensky to resign.

It is worth noting that in Ukrainian society, Valeriy Zaluzhny, the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, who was dismissed from his position in early 2024, is also popular. According to polls, he enjoys significant support from the population, especially after defending the country in 2022.
