The problem is that for the time being, US support is pretty much a requirement for continued Ukrainian existence. I don't like it any more than anyone else, but the situation is pretty shit at the moment. I'm not suggesting that doing anything Trump wants is the way to go either, then he'll just demand more and more until the EU is dissolved, but I understand why politicians tread carefully.

I'm hoping that increased European defense spending can start making up the difference, but right now it's an issue, and taking a hard stance that may hurt the people of Ukraine feels more like their call than ours.
