Tensions between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky are raising fears of a reduction in US support for Kyiv, particularly intelligence and satellite communications services, TimesLIVE reports. Ukraine depends on the United States, its main ally, as it prepares for another winter of Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure.
Donald Trump has criticised Ukraine in particular for its strikes on Russian refineries, which he links to rising energy costs. A disruption to US-provided satellite internet services has also raised concerns about Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. Volodymyr Zelensky responded with unusually forceful public criticism of the US president, according to TimesLIVE.
