Trump's Ukraine stance is consistent, should not be judged by media reports — Ukraine’s intel chief

He said this in an interview with Bloomberg. 

“Trump’s position is consistent, one should not judge him by media characteristics. As head of a special service I know more things,” Budanov said.

He emphasized that Washington would continue supporting Kyiv soon and might provide additional air defense systems.

At the same time, Budanov stressed that a ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian war must be reached as soon as possible, ideally by the end of this year.

“Is it realistic to do so - yes. Is it difficult - no. It takes at least three sides - Ukraine, Russia and the US. And we will get to this position,” he said.
