The US may stop supporting Ukraine because of the attacks on Russia.
Sources indicate that the US President is unhappy with Ukraine's recent actions in attacking Russian military airfields.
According to TASS on June 6, The Atlantic magazine reported that US President Donald Trump is unhappy with Ukraine's decision to attack Russian military airfields. Therefore, the White House is discussing the possibility of ending support for Kyiv.
According to The Atlantic's sources within the Washington administration, the American leader "expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the attacks could lead to an escalation of the conflict." The publication stated that "the drone attack once again awakened long-standing discontent in President Volodymyr Zelensky and sparked new debates within the White House about whether the U.S. should withdraw from Ukraine."
According to The Atlantic, President Trump called Zelensky a "bad guy" and a "hothead," and also believed he was instigating the outbreak of World War III. According to one source, the White House believed Zelensky should focus entirely on negotiations with Russia in Istanbul.
According to the publication, President Trump has yet to decide on "the next steps" regarding the situation surrounding Ukraine. His aides have presented him with several options, including tightening sanctions against Russia and "reducing U.S. aid to Ukraine."
The Atlantic reports that earlier this week, the US leader told his aides that he did not believe it was possible to hold a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Zelensky in the near future.
Earlier, on June 4th, President Donald Trump had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the call, Trump urged Russia not to retaliate against the attacks from Ukraine. However, Putin emphasized that Russia would launch a strong response in the coming days.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Ukraine carried out a terrorist attack on June 1st using drones against airfields in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions. The attacks in Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur were repelled. Several aircraft caught fire as a result of the attacks, but all were extinguished. The Russian Ministry of Defense added that there were no casualties among military or civilian personnel, and several individuals involved in the terrorist attacks were apprehended.
