Francisco Pereira Coutinho, commentator for CNN Portugal, highlights how Trump criticizes the Biden administration for everything that went wrong in Ukraine. The commentator considers that, even with the “extended deadline” of six months redefined by the future American president to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, “it is unlikely” that this will happen.
Nuno Gouveia, an expert on American politics, emphasizes that it is necessary to understand whether or not the “USA will end support for Ukraine”, given Trump’s “contradictory” statements. “Unless there is a magic trick from the Trump administration, I don’t see how this war can end with a just peace for Ukraine,” he concludes,
Finally, João Anes, from the Sedes Security and Defense Observatory, argues that “we watched Putin and Donald Trump play chess with European territory, not just Ukrainian” and “the European Union is completely absent from this debate”. And so Zelensky appears to be “cooperative with the Trump administration, in the hope that the Russian government is not”, he reinforces.
