US President Donald Trump does not seem to be concerned about the future of Ukraine after the war.

“I don’t think he cares. Well, let me simpler. I think he doesn’t care. I think he does not care about any one country in the world except for the United States,” said Steve Seedjoyk of CNBC. Thursday.

Colba, who led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ukraine from 2020 Until his resignation in the fall of 2024Trump’s only concern is that Ukraine has not turned into a failed state like Afghanistan, and that his Ukrainian plan “does not collapse in a way that exposes his weakness to the whole world … because he never tolerates failure.”

“We know him, and this is the issue. So it is not a matter of telling him about the quality of Ukraine and how it deserves to be supported. This is not logical, because this is not what he thinks of,” Kolba said. CNBC contacted the White House to respond to the Kuleba comments and awaits the response.

Colba left his post in September 2024 amid a major amendment to the cabinet designed to modernize the Ukrainian government and bring new ideas in the foreground, at a time when Russian forces began to achieve concerted gains in the east of the country.

The comments of the former war minister on CNBC come with the continuation of these regional developments, while it seems that Kiev’s relationship with the United States, which is the largest military supporter since the beginning of the war in 2022, is deteriorating by today.

Relationships have been tense since the opening of President Donald Trump in January. The White House leader and senior Republican officials have expressed doubts that Ukraine could win the conflict, as it is a war of attrition.

Tensions between Ukraine and the United States reached its head this week, where senior White House officials met with their Russian counterparts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the aim of laying the basis for peace talks on Ukraine, with Kiev officials excluding from participating in discussions.

After that, the relations between Trump and Ukraine President Volodimir Zellinsky moved from bad to the worst on Wednesday, as the latter described the American president as “living in the Russian bubble bubble.”

Trump has returned, The war leader in Ukraine described a “dictator without elections”, “ In reference to the absence of a national poll in the besieged country since 2019. Ukraine has suspended the elections amid martial law.

Trump was astonished by Ukraine and its European allies last week when he announced that he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that the leaders agreed to hold peace talks to end the war. Trump said he had informed Zelinski about the situation, which made the gesture appear as a later way.

Colba was sarcastically about the possibility of peace talks, saying that Putin was not interested in a deal.

“[Putin] He wants to avoid the inconvenience of Donald Trump. This is its strategy. He does not want a deal. He does not want a strip of Ukrainian earth. He does not want the Ukrainian NATO. He does not want any Ukraine. He wants not to have Ukraine. “There should not be illusions about it,” said Colba.

“You can already see tones and methods completely different on both sides. The fact that the United States delegation seems very excited is a little strange. I think they need to slow down, because they have to understand the side they work with.

Colba said that the Trump administration has been exaggerated in estimating its ability to influence Putin, claiming that the Russian president had an innate lack of confidence in the West.

Putin does not trust Trump [a] A very simple reason, because he does not know whether Trump’s promises will keep … and does not need a temporary solution. He knows that his best guarantee [is] Ukraine will not become a member of NATO, and the absence of Ukraine. He is convinced that the West [has] I always betrayed him … so there are some very big obstacles before Trump. “

CNBC called Kremlin to respond to KULEBA’s comments and awaits a response.

The US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Keel was in Kiev on Thursday to contact Zelinski, but suspicions are still on value. Kelog was absent from the United States delegation, who went to his head earlier in his week.

The Reuters office said in a Reuters report that Ukrainian President and Alaug was supposed to hold a joint press conference after their meeting, but this was canceled at the request of the United States.

The current Foreign Minister of Ukraine Andrei Sibha said that he had discussed ways to achieve a just and lasting peace with the American envoy.

“I have confirmed Ukraine’s willingness to achieve peace through strength and our vision of the necessary steps,” Sephi, He said on the social media platform xHe added, “He emphasized that the security of Ukraine and Transatlantic is not retrospective.”

Elsewhere on Thursday, White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz Ukraine told the United States, saying that US officials were trying to secure an acceptable peace deal for all parties.

“They need to reduce this, take a closer look and sign this deal,” Waltz told Fox News, referring to a critical metal deal in which Trump suggested to Ukraine to give Kiev the ownership of the United States by 50 % of rare land minerals such as compensation for military aid It was given by Ukraine.

Zelinski According to what was stated in his ministers not to sign any deal, Which Trump has previously claimed that he would allow the United States to access it At a value of $ 500 billion of rare ground mineralsSaying that the proposal was very focused on American interests and Ukraine offered very little in return.
