Trump’s Flip-Flop on Ukraine Helped Putin Dominate the Battlefield | U.S. Ukraine Blunder Explained

Trump’s erratic Ukraine policy has backfired, handing strategic advantage to Vladimir Putin. From praising Russia to undercutting Western efforts, Trump’s shifting stance confused allies and weakened U.S. credibility. Despite promises of peace “in 24 hours,” Putin escalated the war, rejecting Trump’s ceasefire ideas. Key allies, including UK PM Starmer, expressed alarm as U.S. military aid faltered. Trump’s praise, sanction reversals, and attempts to monetize aid left Ukraine vulnerable. With 300 drones and 69 missiles striking Kyiv, Trump's foreign policy gamble has only fueled Russia’s war machine. #Trump #UkraineWar #Putin #USForeignPolicy #Zelenskyy #RussiaUkraineConflict #TrumpFlipFlop #Geopolitics #MilitaryAid #TrumpVsPutin #UkraineNews #BidenVsTrump #WesternUnity #PeaceDeal #TrumpSpeech #TrumpPolicy #TrumpOnPutin #PutinStrikes #UkraineAttack #TrumpPraisePutin #GlobalDiplomacy #EUResponse #Ceasefire #TrumpUkraineFail #NATOWatch #RussiaAdvances #MineralDeal #TrumpVsAllies #Starmer #PutinPowerPlay Also Read Trump Issues Threat To Harvard One Again, Vows 'Victory' Against World-Renowned Varsity :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-issues-threat-to-harvard-one-again-vows-victory-against-world-renowned-varsity-4164673.html?ref=DMDesc AI-Generated Trump Video Used In Karnataka To Dupe Over 200 In Investment Scam :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/ai-generated-trump-video-used-in-karnataka-to-dupe-over-200-in-investment-scam-4164151.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~
