SAEDNEWS: In a startling reversal, former President Donald Trump has softened his stance on the Ukraine war—pledging to send advanced Patriot missile systems to Kyiv and signaling conditional support for new sanctions against Moscow.
According to Saed News, in a dramatic policy pivot, Donald Trump has moderated his long‑standing skepticism toward aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia. Citing a report by CNN, the former president pledged to supply advanced Patriot air‑defense systems to help Kyiv withstand looming summer offensives, marking a significant departure from his earlier characterization of the conflict as “a pointless quagmire akin to World War I.”
Trump’s change of heart appears linked to President Vladimir Putin’s rebuff of a Moscow‑friendly peace proposal previously floated by Trump’s camp. By emphasizing Patriot missile deliveries and voicing tentative support for fresh congressional sanctions, Trump has signaled that a potential second term need not equate to a wholesale retreat from Ukraine. “We will not abandon Ukraine,” he asserted in a recent statement, according to Saed News.
Yet analysts urge caution. Trump’s track record of transactional diplomacy and rapid course‑corrections suggests that this stance may be as impermanent as his past positions. A senior foreign‑policy advisor, speaking on condition of anonymity, noted that “no one should bank on sustained support”—particularly given the 50‑day ultimatum Trump has set for negotiating a peace deal, which critics warn could afford Moscow the strategic upper hand.
Still, even a fleeting shift from Trump could recalibrate diplomatic dynamics in NATO and Washington. As Kyiv navigates high‑stakes summer battles, the former president’s new posture offers a glimmer of leverage—albeit one shrouded in uncertainty about its longevity.
