Trump refuses to comment on his stance towards Ukraine’s victory in war as Blinken travels to Kyiv to discuss long-range strikes

Ukraine woke up to a potential shift in American support as Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Kyiv following former President Donald Trump’s refusal to explicitly state support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. Kyiv hopes that Blinken’s visit will bring a change in U.S. policy allowing the use of long-range weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory. President Joe Biden hinted at a possible lift of restrictions on Ukraine’s use of such weapons, signaling a potential shift in policy. Despite Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirming U.S. support for Ukraine during a debate with Trump, concerns remain about the stability of this backing. Trump’s vague responses to whether he wants Ukraine to win the war have raised fears in Kyiv that a Trump administration might seek to negotiate a deal with Moscow at the expense of Ukrainian interests. Nonetheless, Blinken’s visit has given hope to many in Ukraine, with the issue of long-range weapons being crucial for the country’s ability to respond to Russian strikes and potentially reach a compromise for peace in the future. The situation in Ukraine highlights the delicate balance of international support and the importance of U.S. policy decisions in the conflict with Russia.
