‘Trump never cared about us’: Ukraine smarts at U.S. pressure and deal with Putin
Residents say Trump’s pressure and shifting U.S. policy could favor Putin while Russia keeps striking the war-torn city.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump demanded Ukrainians "get a new president" and announced an "energy ceasefire," while lifting sanctions on Russian diesel exports and ordering Kyiv to stop bombing oil refineries.
- Throughout nearly five years of all-out war, Lviv residents face daily Russian attacks, including strikes on Tuesday near the city center; Trump previously lambasted President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the Oval Office last year.
- Lviv residents expressed deep skepticism of Trump's motives. "It's all about money — just business," said Andriy, a 48-year-old local, while Vitaliy noted Trump's tirades strengthen support for the Ukrainian government.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine received "no early warning from our partners" about a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv infrastructure on Tuesday. Mariya, a Lviv resident, said the situation leaves Ukraine "in a bad situation."
- Trump's proposed "energy ceasefire" caught both warring nations by surprise, as neither Russia nor Ukraine appeared to know about the deal beforehand. Analysts warn Russian diesel exports may help replenish Putin's war chest.
