He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

"Trump can change his position on Ukraine many times. He will 100% change his position on Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel a dozen times. He is simply a man who uses foreign policy issues for his own domestic political advancement. Right now, Trump's key topic is winning the election. Because winning this election will give him the opportunity to avoid prison and improve his economic and financial situation," Kraiev explained.

According to the expert, Trump is trying to promote his own candidacy by capitalizing on the weaknesses of the government.

"For Trump, winning the election is a matter of survival. Besides, when Biden shows his indecision on Ukraine, of course Trump will say that he would have acted differently. He will say that he would have bombed Moscow and Beijing. That is, everything he is doing now is aimed at showing his own potential and the weaknesses of the current government," he added.

  • On May 29, The Washington Post reported, citing sources, that former US President and presidential candidate Donald Trump said at a private event during the campaign that he would bomb Moscow if Russia attacked Ukraine if he were president.
  • On May 31, former US President Donald Trump became the first president in US history to be convicted of a felony. On May 30, a jury in New York City found Trump guilty in a case of financial fraud in the bribery of a porn star in 2016.
