The media reported that the decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine was made unilaterally by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. The question is whether US President Trump knew about this idea.
Oleg Rybachuk, chairman of the analytical and advocacy organization “Center for Joint Actions,” told Channel 24 about this. According to him, Trump's team will never make decisions that contradict the worldview of the current US president and his declared policy.
Could Trump have been unaware of this decision?
As Rybachuk noted, Trump and his team have repeatedly made it clear that they do not care about the future of Ukraine. They want to push aid to our country onto Europe.
If we proceed from this, then Hegseth implemented a decision that was in line with Trump's general line. Could they have disagreed on something there? I admit that they could have. Because there are often some blunders and uncoordinated actions between them, Rybachuk said.
Now Trump has responded to the aid hold. But he is not doing so because he disagrees with the decision. He is probably influenced by the outrage among other members of Congress and in public opinion in general.
Trump will probably be forced to resume arms supplies. This is not even his decision, but preliminary agreements. Let's hope that Trump will allow Europeans to buy weapons and transfer them to us. Trump is not our friend. His heart belongs to Russia and Putin. He is under the influence of the shadow of the Soviet Union and the story of “great Russia,” Rybachuk noted.
Recall that Trump said he was unhappy with his recent conversation with Putin. He is also considering sending Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine.
