Trump is against any compromise regarding Ukraine: what the ex-US President bet on

The US Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill, which provides for US national security agreements, as well as assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, on February 7. But here, former United States President Donald Trump is betting that Joe Biden will “fail.”

Political scientist Vladimir Fesenko stated this 24 to Channel, noting that this does not mean that Trump wants Ukraine to be defeated or to help Putin. We are talking about the US presidential election.

“Trump has relied on the topic of the migration crisis – the crisis on the border with Mexico – as the main theme of the election campaign in the United States. That is why he actually against any bill,” Fesenko said.

Therefore, the ex-president of the United States is against any compromise. aspects of his election interests, for him “the worse, the better.” However, this indirectly affects various US allies. In particular, Ukraine.

For Trump now this is not important. If there are problems, he will criticize: “It’s Biden’s fault,” the political scientist added.

In the lower house of the US Congress they act according to the logic of Donald Trump. They have already stated that they will not support Joe Biden’s bill. And in response, they only promote a bill to support Israel. The White House did not agree to this.

“Theoretically, I do not rule out that they could divide the border separately , and international assistance will be voted on separately,” suggested Vladimir Fesenko.

Opinions are divided

The political scientist noted that at the same time, Republicans, especially Trumpists, are for sharing aidUkraine and Israel. They are ready to support aid for the latter country. Regarding Ukraine, they have complaints against Joe Biden. There are also internal misunderstandings.

After all, some Republicans advocate strengthening support for the Ukrainian state. In particular, the heads of the relevant Congressional committees on defense, intelligence and national security. At the same time, there is a group of Trumpists who are in favor of stopping support for Ukraine altogether.

“This is still a problem of internal disputes within the Republican Party. Such, unfortunately, is almost a stalemate situation. It’s hard to say when it might change,” Fesenko said.

Meanwhile, the United States is trying to continue supporting Ukraine through other countries.

Worst case scenario

The worst-case scenario not only for Ukraine, but also for the United States, if the issue regarding the bill is not resolved before the elections President of the United States of America. They will take place in the fall of 2024.

I think that responsible people, in particular in the Republican Party, will be looking for options – how to provide in one form or another. For now, there remains hope for a compromise,” noted Vladimir Fesenko.

In the United States, the temporary budgeting of the federal government has technically continued several times. Everything so that there is no shutdown – cessation of budget funding.

If Republicans and Democrats find a compromise on the budget issue, then perhaps the issue of assistance to Ukraine will be resolved within the overall US budget.

Aid for Ukraine from the USA

• In the USA, Republicans and Democrats could not agree on security at the country's borders. That is why they did not pass the bill, which provided money to support Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. It provides $60 billion to support the Ukrainian state.
• The US Senate released the text of the agreement, which provides for assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as well as agreements on national security. US President Joe Biden called on Congress to vote for an agreement between Republicans and Democrats.
• Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States of America Oksana Markarova said that a compromise draft law on assistance for Ukraine and Israel could vote on February 7th. Before that, however, she said, expect a very difficult and very public debate. They will not concern Ukraine, but the part of the package that concerns US migration policy.
