Kiev and its backers waiting out ‘natural disaster’ Trump – expert (VIDEO)

Ukraine and its European backers are hoping to wait out US President Donald Trump’s term in office to pursue a war with Russia with the support of his successor, according to a professor at the Institute of European Studies in Belgrade, Stevan Gajic.

Trump has expressed frustration with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, accusing him of obstructing peace negotiations with Russia. Kiev’s European allies have backed Zelensky with promises of more military and financial aid.

Zelensky, along with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, view the Trump administration “as a natural disaster that will eventually pass and they can get back to business,” Gajic told RT on Friday.

“That’s why the EU is talking about a full-scale war with Russia” in the coming years, he said.

Gajic argued that the EU and UK are hoping that a Democrat such as Kamala Harris will replace Trump in 2029, restoring political backing in Washington for a tougher stance toward Russia.
