Trump refuses to disclose stance on Ukraine’s victory in war; Blinken’s Kyiv visit focused on potential long-range strikes

Ukraine is eagerly awaiting a shift in American policy regarding the use of long-range weapons in its conflict with Russia. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Kyiv brought hope that the U.S. would allow Ukraine to use Western-supplied weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory. President Joe Biden hinted at a possible change in policy, indicating that restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons may be lifted soon. However, former President Donald Trump’s refusal to explicitly state his support for Ukraine winning the war has raised concerns about the future of U.S. backing. Despite Vice President Kamala Harris’s strong support for Ukraine on the debate stage, Trump’s reluctance to express a clear stance on the conflict has left many in Kyiv worried about the potential consequences of a Trump administration for the ongoing war. Kyiv is pushing for increased support from the U.S. as it fights to maintain control of territory on multiple fronts, and Blinken’s visit is seen as a critical moment in determining the extent of American backing for the country.
