- Reposted by Elena Alfaro 🇪🇺🇺🇦There is much more fighting to come between Ukraine, Russia and maybe the EU too, accompanied by many more rounds of talks about talks about talks. A paralysed America under Trump isn't much use to anyone at all. Not to Kyiv, not to Brussels, not to Moscow either.

The US won't drop sanctions and will continue intel sharing as his attention wanders to domestic politics, trade and Western Hemisphere stuff. But Europeans won't get more than that minimum from him, ever.
