"I'm ashamed of my country." Republican criticizes Donald Trump's stance

Boris Pincus , head of the Ronald Reagan Republican Club of New York, commented on the outcome of the negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Polsat News . The presidents met on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska, and their talks lasted less than three hours.

According to Pincus, Trump's failure in this event is evident . "Because Trump promised us that if he heard in the first five minutes that Putin didn't want to cease fire, Trump would interrupt the meeting, call European leaders, and say there was no agreement and that he was joining the EU countries. But that didn't happen, " the Republican explained.

He added that although there is no bipartisan consensus on this issue in the United States, recent polls show that over 60 percent of Americans support aid for Ukraine. " Trump acted against the will of the nation ," he commented, adding that the American leader had challenged Europe, shifting responsibility for resolving the conflict to it.

Trump-Putin Meeting: "The US President Betrayed the Ukrainians"

"All hope lies in our nation's response," Pincus argued. " Trump is not worthy of the United States . Today he betrayed the Ukrainian people, who defend the values that guide Americans."

Moreover, the head of the Republican caucus believes that Donald Trump committed a crime by engaging in negotiations "between good and evil."

"From the moment he took on the role of negotiator between good and evil, he has already committed a crime, because I, an emigrant, have been in this country for 35 years – I left the former USSR – and we, millions of emigrants, chose this country because of American values. It's about freedom, independence, democracy (...). And today, when the great Ukrainian nation has not given up, has been defending Europe and us for three and a half years, the US president has failed to appreciate and understand this, " he said. Later in the conversation, he added that Trump had trampled on these values.

As the American politician reported, "everyone he's spoken to is shocked." "He's a rather questionable personality. And I hope there will be structures in place to investigate who he is and where he came from," the Republican declared.

"I understand the situation of the EU leaders, I understand them very well. It's a great pity, because today Ukraine can only rely on Europe," he added .

Trump-Putin Meeting. Previously a Hawk, Now a Dove

When asked if he underestimated the US president's decision to transfer weapons to Ukraine, Pinkus explained that it wasn't enough. "Trump agreed to the Pentagon entering into two agreements with our military corporations for the production of air defense missiles (...). That's true, and that's Trump's doing . (...) However, the problem is that Ukraine currently needs more than just these weapons, and not just in this quantity. Right now, there are very few of these weapons, and there should be a flood of them, especially since Europe is willing to pay," he explained.

The politician added that Trump is failing not only in supporting Ukraine but also in maintaining proper relations with other countries. " Putin's main source of oxygen is China, and Trump is failing in relations with China ," he said.

When asked whether he believed the American leader should receive the Nobel Prize, he expressed his belief that Americans don't care. "We, Americans who pay taxes, don't think about the Nobel Prize. It doesn't matter to us," the expert said.

He also argued that Trump was completely different in his first term than he is now and that he doesn't inspire sympathy . "He was different in his first term. (...) He shortened the Russian embassy, closed two consulates, fired over 60 diplomats, and opposed Nord Stream. He was a hawk, and we voted for it. However, in his second term, Trump became a dove ," he said.

Concluding the conversation, the Republican caucus chairman commented on Trump's stance, which regularly emphasizes that the war in Ukraine is not his problem and that if he had been president when it broke out, the war would not have happened at all. "Trump says it's not his war. But he's an idiot. What do you mean it's not your war? It's your war," Pincus said with frustration.

" Where's your promise? " he remarked, reminding us that the US president had declared an immediate end to the talks if they didn't lead to a ceasefire. "Nothing, he talked to him for three hours and the result was zero," he added.

Meeting in Alaska. "Putin Tried to Sweeten Trump's Way"

Ukrainian political scientist Nedim Useinow from the German Marshall Fund of the US think tank also spoke on Polsat News. He assessed that if Putin finally agrees to abandon his claims to the annexed territories of Ukraine, he will definitely not give up Crimea .

- I am afraid that if this agreement is reached, which could be initiated by today's meeting, the return of Crimea to Ukraine would not be on the negotiating table - he said.

He also expressed the view that the Alaska talks were in Putin's interest , as he tries to protect the Russian economy from collapse. "He knows how to sweeten President Trump's mood. He tried to stroke his ego with a few nice compliments, and judging by the US president's reaction, he seems to have succeeded . Although each of them played along, it's difficult to assess the true reaction to these compliments—whether they were too obvious and obvious to him, for example," he added.

"Putin was playing for time, trying to convince Trump: I, too, am a hostage to this situation; a war has broken out. Perhaps it didn't go our way because we wanted to end it in three days. But it happened, and I can't back down now," Useinov said.

The meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, ended after less than three hours. A previously planned joint lunch between the delegations of both countries was canceled. After the press conference, both presidents returned to their respective planes.
