The US will not turn its back on Ukraine, says pastor Mark Burns, a close confidant of President Trump.
“I shared with the president and the White House my experiences in Ukraine. I told them about the atrocities the Russians are committing against Ukrainian women, children, the elderly and civilians. I shared stories about 20,000 kidnapped children and 700 places of worship that have been targeted by the Russians,” Burns said in an interview with the Kyiv Independent.
According to Burns, this has played a small role in strengthening relations between the US and Ukraine.
Asked how Trump reacted to his story, Burns said:
“The president always shows concern and concern for the innocent who are dying and suffering. That’s why he’s increasing the pressure on Putin and expressing his dissatisfaction with Putin. Recently, President Trump approved the first (after his return to the White House) tranche of arms supplies to Ukraine, sending a strong signal that the United States will not back down in supporting Ukraine’s right to self-defense.”

The Russian elite is pressuring Putin over the signing of the “resource deal,” demanding concessions on Ukraine, — Washington Post.
According to the publication, some members of Russia’s elite are increasingly concerned about the subsoil agreement between the US and Ukraine. They see it as a signal of a new balance of power that will make it harder for Moscow to secure a favorable peace. Senator Lindsey Graham’s initiative to introduce 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian energy adds further pressure.
An anonymous Russian official told the outlet that internal pressure on Putin is growing, urging him to at least appear open to concessions.
“He understands that without this, he risks serious consequences — especially amid a growing budget deficit,” the source said.
