Recently, Ukraine launched a drone attack on the Russian strategic air force, causing dissatisfaction from Trump. U.S. media cited reports that the White House is once again discussing whether to abandon Ukraine.
Anonymous Washington officials and external White House advisors revealed to the media that Trump was privately displeased with Ukraine's attack, fearing it might escalate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This week, he privately echoed right-wing rhetoric, criticizing Zelensky for being flamboyant after the attack.
The report says that although Trump was also impressed by the bold attack from the Ukrainian side, he believes Ukrainian President Zelensky should focus more on the Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Turkey.
The report indicates that Trump has not clarified whether he wants Russia not to retaliate, nor has he decided on the next steps, but options provided by officials include sanctioning Russia and reducing aid to Ukraine.
