Video Description

Recent comments from the White House could be interpreted as the foundations of a US off-ramp from trying to end the war in Ukraine. From holding no cards to potentially winning them all back: President Trump has revised his position on the Russia-Ukraine war again. From berating Zelenskyy in February, to berating Putin and the Russian economy in September The President even suggested Ukraine could retake its lost territory. But to do so - Kiev would need more help from Europe. Instead of a quick end - is the President now suggesting a more drawn-out war? Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk is sceptical of the President's views - warning that ... "behind Trump’s surprising optimism was a promise to reduce US involvement and shift responsibility for ending the war to Europe." Adding to that burden are accusations Russia is provocatively breaching NATO airspace, in an effort to test the alliance's response. Earlier this month Russian drones and fighter jets flew over three European countries three times in just two weeks.
