POLL: Should the UK stand by Ukraine if Trump pulls out? | UK | News

Donald Trump has hinted that he may wash his hands of the Ukraine-Russia war because the two countries cannot agree on a peace deal. Last week Trump said of the ongoing war: “Sometimes you have to let people fight.” But MI6’s new chief, Blaise Metreweli, has promised that Britain’s support for Ukraine will be unwavering.

He made his first speech at the Secret Intelligence Service headquarters as follows: “There is no doubt about Putin, our support is permanent. The pressure we apply on behalf of Ukraine will continue.”

It is claimed that Trump could eliminate US intelligence vital to Ukraine throughout the war. This comes as the US’s new national security strategy suggests that Russia is no longer classified as an “existential threat” to America.

So, do you think the UK should stand by Ukraine if Trump withdraws its support from the US? Share your thoughts in our poll below.

Zelensky met with a US envoy in Berlin this afternoon. It was reported that the talks, which started around 11:00, were completed around 12:30.

Putin made several demands for a possible peace agreement with Ukraine.

The Russian leader demanded that Ukraine give up the last 20 percent of Donetsk, which it still controls, and that the occupied territories be internationally recognized as Russian.

But a recent poll found that three-quarters of Ukrainians oppose major concessions under the peace deal. A poll by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology found that 75 percent of Ukrainians think a plan that would involve Ukraine ceding its territory or limiting its military with no security guarantees is “completely unacceptable.”

Senior research fellow in military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi). Sidharth Kaushal said that a peace agreement from Russia would also include the USA.
