The Ukraine War: From Bad to Worse if Trump Dumps Kyiv?
For months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the issue of whether Ukraine could survive and continue to fight back against Russia’s military without United States military aid. This line of questioning stems from the unspoken assumption that a second Donald Trump Administration might reduce that aid—or even curtail it altogether.
Since the fall, and more so since Trump’s election victory in November 2024, the prospect of the withdrawal of US military aid seems less likely. However, if assistance to Ukraine was not canceled but just significantly scaled back, the consequences could be severe.
The most crucial point to remember, says a Ukrainian official in Kyiv who spoke to 19FortyFive, is the “constant, static usage of military items on the front lines. Vehicles are destroyed and have to be replaced. Soldiers are either killed – or if wounded have to be withdraw from combat. Reduced manpower causes a loss in firepower and too many vehicles out of action means a loss of mobility.”
