On Monday, Donald Trump's administration suspended all US aid to Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Voldymi Zelensky to agree to a ceasefire contract on US terms. He will be coming after an explosive meeting with leaders in the oval office on Friday.
“Donald Trump is now such a singular political force that he is able to repaint many aspects of the Ukraine debate in American political life.” Andrew Rossthe Guardian's Global Affairs correspondent said Michael Sapphi.
“He's really changed a lot of facts about this conflict in their heads, and we can see it very quickly. He's trying to change the narrative in terms of how the conflict started, what role Zelenkie school plays in the conflict, and what role President Putin plays.
“And he twisted it into a way that could basically be said to have inflated Zelensky and turned it into a tough guy, and now we're going to get him back for his place.
Ross explains what this outage means for Ukrainian forces on earth, the future of US foreign policy, and the security of Europe.
