In a critical assessment for Kyiv Post, Bohdan Nahaylo claims that Donald Trump’s approach to the Ukraine war signifies a catastrophic failure of U.S. leadership. He argues that Trump, instead of being a diplomatic strategist, acts as “Putin’s greatest asset,” favoring a dangerous policy of appeasement that undermines long-term American security for a temporary diplomatic gain. Nahaylo suggests that while Ukraine may suffer territorial losses, Trump will ultimately be judged harshly in history for abandoning democratic values and eroding the post-1945 international order.
