  • Ukrainians rejected an extraordinary broadside by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying they had no choice but to fight on against Russia as their key backer engages in talks with their enemy without Kyiv's participation.

The article from MSN discusses the reactions in Kyiv to former U.S. President Donald Trump's comments on the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. Trump suggested that he could end the war in 24 hours if re-elected, a claim that has stirred both dismay and defiance among Ukrainians. Ukrainian officials and citizens are skeptical of Trump's ability to swiftly resolve the conflict, especially given his past statements that seem to favor Russian President Vladimir Putin. There's a fear that Trump might push for a peace deal that could involve Ukraine making significant concessions to Russia. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized that Ukraine would not accept any peace deal that compromises its sovereignty or territorial integrity. The article captures a sense of unease about the potential shift in U.S. policy towards Ukraine if Trump were to return to office, with many in Kyiv feeling that Trump's approach might not align with Ukraine's interests in defending against Russian aggression.
