Last week, according to Ukrainian government reports, Russia intensified its attacks by launching a considerable amount of bombs, drones, and missiles over Ukraine. Alarmingly, Putin has announced joint military maneuvers with Iran and China, raising the question of whether the United States is conceding to Russia.
At the UN, the United States overwhelmingly lost the vote demanding Russia's withdrawal from Ukraine on the third anniversary of the invasion. This vote against the resolution was supported by countries such as Nicaragua, Russia, Israel, North Korea, and some African nations.
Trump appears to be paving the way for Putin to annex part of Ukraine, which could trigger a war. Meanwhile, the next German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has urged preparation for the worst, proposing constitutional reforms to increase defense spending in Europe.
Countries like Spain and Italy, with limited borrowing capacity, have supported the reallocation of European Union spending, which considers allocating a significant amount of funds for defense. Additionally, there is speculation about the reintroduction of mandatory military service in Germany, which was abolished 14 years ago.
Some European countries have detailed covert sabotage actions by Russia against their infrastructure. In parallel, conversations have been revealed between senior officials of the Trump administration and internal opponents of President Zelensky, seeking to pressure for free elections in Ukraine.
Donald Trump seems to be interested not only in establishing trade agreements in Ukraine but also in getting rid of Zelensky to please Putin. Meanwhile, in the international context, Trump has expressed his desire to incorporate Greenland into the United States.
In summary, the situation posed by Trump's potential handover of Ukraine to Russia is generating international tensions. It is crucial to stay alert to how events evolve and what the repercussions of this situation will be on the global landscape.
