Trump's plan to talk directly with Putin to end the Ukraine war was slammed as risky for Ukraine's independence and Europe's safety, while a few supporters saw it as a fast fix.
Last week, Donald Trump announced plans to negotiate directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump is only emboldening Putin and we should be under no illusion that if Ukraine is forced to concede territory to Russia, nowhere in Europe is safe.
He has kicked away any initial leverage that Ukraine had, and his administration has announced that they won't get involved in Ukraine and that the protection of Europe is now of secondary value.
They argued that Trump’s approach focuses on quick deals instead of long-term peace and could hurt international support for Ukraine.
