"Feels humiliated": the media found out why Trump actually began to repel Putin

To spread: US President Donald Trump is "offended" by Russian President Vladimir Putin - the most personal insult is the main reason that Trump began to repel Putin at least publicly. The disappointment of Trump in the Kremlin leader is growing, but this is not a sign of a new strategic outlook of the US President, writes The Atlantic, citing White House officials and Trump's two external advisers. "Trump did not have a new commitment to Ukraine or its President Vladimir Zelensky.

He did not suddenly believe in traditional transatlantic alliances, which his predecessors valued as a counterweight to Moscow. Rather, Trump was offended," the material reads. The sources of the publication emphasized that Putin made Trump look like a "junior partner", ignoring his calls to end the war against Ukraine and strengthen the fighting: "As Putin continues to ignore his calls for the agreement, Trump feels humiliated, fearing that he looks weak," the source said.

The authors of the material explained that the measures declared by Trump would probably not change the overall trajectory of war in Ukraine, but they can blunt the desire of the Russian Federation to continue the war. These steps also assured Ukraine and Europe that Washington could still be a partner in their fight.

At the same time, US officials did not inform whether more weapons will be transferred to Ukraine in the future, and a large part of Trump's surroundings and many members of the House of Republican Party are strongly opposed to providing additional military or financial assistance to Kyiv. This uncertainty, according to the authors of the material, will complicate the plans of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Europe on the future defense of Ukraine.
