From Ankara, Trump ramps up Ukraine support after months focused on Middle East
In Ankara, Donald Trump demonstrated renewed commitment to Ukraine, signaling a significant shift after months when Washington refocused on the Middle East. The Russian-Ukrainian war has entered its fifth year, with Russian drone and missile strikes now reaching central Kyiv, where a recent attack killed 27 people. Thousands of civilians take shelter nightly in the capital's metro system. All previous American mediation attempts had failed. In some Kyiv circles, a negotiation window is cautiously being discussed for autumn 2026. Tensions with Poland have also escalated over Ukraine's naming of a military unit.
