Ukraine, Putin ... and Trump: What lies ahead after US election?

Edité par France 24 - 2024

With November 5 fast approaching and US voters' enthusiasm for backing Ukraine waning, how does Kyiv handle the prospect of an eventual return of Donald Trump to the White House?

A new book by Watergate journalist Bob Woodward purports to shed more light on the cosy relationship between the Republican candidate and the master of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, who Trump has referenced more than ever in upbeat terms on the campaign trail.

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Annarosa Zampaglione. 

Note
  • Time is not on Volodymyr Zelensky's side. Ukraine's president is on a tour of five European cities in two days as he seeks the green light for longer-range missile strikes inside Russia from NATO allies. In a week that has seen his side lose two key towns in the Donbas region, fate seems to be conspiring against Zelensky as Hurricane Milton keeps Joe Biden away from a now-scrapped summit of Kyiv's allies in Germany.
