The spokesman for the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, Andriy Dobryansky, said that the policy of Donald Trump's administration came as a shock to many Americans

He shared this during a broadcast on Espreso.

"We know that within President Trump's administration, his circle, and among his supporters, there is a wave of anti-Ukrainian voices. For example, Vice President J.D. Vance, who said last year that his main goal was to change U.S. policy toward Ukraine. Many people around Trump are seeking and using every opportunity to change the policy toward Ukraine," Dobryansky explained.

According to Andriy Dobryansky, many Americans do not understand the direction taken by Donald Trump's administration. Many are concerned about the potential rapprochement between the US and Russia.

"A lot of changes are happening in the U.S. U.S. policy toward our enemy is changing, sanctions against Russia are being discussed, etc. In fact, red lines for the US suddenly disappeared. I talk to many people from Washington. People ask me and don't know what's going on. Some people from Washington just cried yesterday. They don't know the direction the U.S. has taken. Whether the U.S. remains the country that supported the world’s security order after 1945. For many Americans who lived through the Cold War and the next generation that understands who the main enemy is, it is very difficult and complicated to understand the next steps of the U.S.," he added.

  • Earlier, US President Donald Trump responded to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement about an agreement to end the war, calling it the worst one and claiming that the U.S. would not tolerate it for long.
  • U.S. media reported that Donald Trump ordered the suspension of all current military aid to Ukraine until he is convinced that the country’s leaders "demonstrate a genuine commitment to peace."
  • On March 4, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that data from the south of the country confirmed the suspension of military aid to Ukraine from the United States.
  • At the same time, the Hungarian government expressed support for the U.S. decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine, stating the "necessity of peace negotiations."
