U.S. President Donald Trump increasingly views Volodymyr Zelensky's position with skepticism and, according to The Atlantic, regards the Ukrainian president as one of the main obstacles to ending the war. In the White House, in this context, they are discussing the possibility of pressuring Kyiv through military aid and intelligence-sharing.
The Atlantic reports this.
According to the publication, Trump ties the prospect of a peace agreement to the stance of Ukrainian leadership. At the same time, in his view Zelensky is increasingly hindering the implementation of his foreign policy plans, among which is the ambition of the American president to obtain the Nobel Peace Prize.
A separate source of tension has been Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. In Washington, they are considering using arms supplies and exchanging intelligence as levers to influence Kyiv.
Among the options discussed in the White House are halting arms supplies and intelligence transfers if Ukraine continues to attack Russian refineries. At the same time, a final decision on imposing such restrictions, according to the information provided, has not yet been made.
The Atlantic assesses this approach critically. The publication believes that the current actions of the U.S. administration resemble an attempt to force Ukraine to back down from its position and to weaken pressure on the Russian economy.
