I feel betrayed, but it's not a particularly strong feeling for some reason. I expected something like this from Trump, says an anonymous Ukrainian soldier who is fighting in the Kursk region to AP.
Another soldier notes to the news agency that the situation looks bleak.
War is very pragmatic. If we have weapons, enough ammunition, infantry, tanks, and planes – top-notch. If not, then we're done for.
Others say that the move has created even more confusion regarding Trump's intentions.
The problem is that it's unclear what Trump wants and what purpose he has with his actions, says parliamentarian Oleksandr Merezjko, who is chairman of the foreign affairs committee.
As it looks now, he seems to be leaning more and more towards Russia and trying to pressure Ukraine to accept Russia's terms. It appears dreadful – to force the weaker side to accept the stronger aggressor's terms, he says to AP.
