Though doubt looms over Trump’s moves in the coming months, his warm relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his September claim that Ukraine was “demolished” and its people “dead” have left Kyiv worried.
In his victory speech in Florida, Republican party leader Trump did not directly mention the war in Ukraine but reminded the cheering crowd that the U.S. saw “no wars” during his first presidential term from 2017 to 2021 before Joe Biden, the Democratic party’s outgoing president, succeeded him.

The Kyiv Independent asked six Ukrainian servicemen for their reaction to Trump’s victory.
Ukrainian soldiers react to Trump’s victory: ‘This could be a disaster,’ others say Biden was ‘impotent’
not biden, the republican “led” house.
While this is true, I wouldn’t discount the disastrous “escalation management” approach pursued by Biden’s administration.
I understand the logic in a superficial sense, but it at least partially stems from ignorance about how russians think and how to deal with them. In a geo-political sense, they are not capable of good faith actions and they only respect brute force and strength. You would be challenged to find a single noteable example of genuine good faith actions from the russians in all of their history.
Biden is a neoliberal. Neoliberals are moderate conservatives. Moderate conservatives have always been impotent. They are here for the money, not to improve anything.
The Biden administration not only gave intel to Ukraine weeks before the invasion, they also rallied the world behind support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, not to mention the billions and billions of dollars of military aide. These ungrateful fucks wouldn’t have bullets to fire or guns to fire them with if it wasn’t for the Biden administration.
