Ukraine’s government reshuffle aims to boost national resilience – and repair relations with Trump Ukraine’s new prime minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, is well placed to communicate with Washington. But Zelenskyy’s government must not let wartime conditions fuel democratic backsliding at home.

Første reaksjon:
1. Trump oppfører seg som Keiseren som forlanger kowtow fra sine lydriker, eller mafiabossen som forlanger ringen kysset.

"If we end this war now, some kind of a frozen conflict, a ceasefire,it will give Russia the possibility to mobilize more funds,&maybe to attack another country in Europe,"- Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen

"If we allow Russia to win the war,he will continue,they will continue,"she said

We will do whatever it takes for that.
