According to the article in the Toronto Star, the topic of Ukraine is gradually disappearing from the pre-election campaign of American Republicans. Experts claim that the upcoming elections will become a «referendum on the future of Ukraine».
The publication notes that Republican voters are becoming less interested in supporting Ukraine. This conclusion is based on the analysis of statements made by Republican Nikki Haley, who is vying to represent the party in the presidential elections.
The article suggests that under the leadership of Donald Trump, support for Ukraine has «become a thing of the past». The authors note that Republicans in Congress have been blocking further American military aid to Ukraine for several years. If Trump wins the presidential elections in November, he is likely to withdraw support from this country.
Experts emphasize that without US assistance, Ukraine will not be able to win the war against Russia. American support for Ukraine is crucial in the fight against Russia. Otherwise, the «best-case scenario» for Ukraine will be a «wild peace», where Russia will retain control over the occupied territories and establish a puppet government.
Experts also suggest that in such a scenario, the teaching of the Ukrainian language may be banned, and the abduction of Ukrainian children may continue. This will lead to the complete erasure of Ukraine from the map of Europe.
