A potential shift in U.S. policy toward Ukraine has drawn mixed reactions as fighting continues. Ukrainian officials welcomed a recent announcement from a prominent American figure as a positive development, though they emphasized ongoing Russian strikes on critical energy targets in major cities. The Kremlin has yet to respond to the statement, leaving uncertainty over Moscow’s next steps. The situation underscores the delicate balance of diplomacy amid persistent military engagements.
Moscow did not immediately comment. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that while his country "welcomed" the announcement by Trump as "good news for everyone," Russia was still hitting energy infrastructure in Kyiv and in the city of Kharkiv.
