Former President Donald Trump suggested that to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Donbas region should be “cut up,” potentially leaving significant portions under Russian control. His remarks followed heightened Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic Russian energy facilities, including the Orenburg gas processing plant, which were reported to have caused significant damage. While Trump has displayed a willingness to engage in discussions regarding territorial concessions, he refrained from committing to providing Ukraine with advanced weaponry such as Tomahawk missiles. This evolving stance reflects a broader U.S. foreign policy challenge as the conflict continues to escalate and geopolitical dynamics shift, raising concerns about the implications for Ukraine’s sovereignty and Western support.
