US: Ukrainians Warm To Trump Despite Threats To Halt Aid

US

Politico reports that according to a new survey commissioned by New Europe Center NGO: “Some 44.6 percent of Ukrainians trust US-President elect Donald Trump... despite Trump's threats to halt aid to Ukraine, force it to make a deal with Russia and pull out of NATO."

  • Politico notes: “In 2023, only 10 percent of Ukrainians preferred Trump over current U.S. President Joe Biden, whereas 78 percent favored Biden over Trump. Now, some 55 percent said they still trust Biden, the report, which surveyed 1,000 Ukrainians in mid- to late-November, notes.”
  • The NGO said in a statement: “This high level of support shows Ukraine expects clearer and more decisive policy towards Ukraine from the new U.S. administration. It cannot be ruled out that some respondents have certain hopes for the restoration of peace in Ukraine, which Trump emphasized during his election campaign."The Treasury Department has announced a new USD$20 billion loan to Ukraine, paid for by proceeds from immobilised Russian sovereign assets, “as part of the $50 billion G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) Loans initiative.”
