The former United States Ambassador to kyiv accuses Donald Trump of having favored Vladimir Putin to the detriment of Ukraine
“I was an ambassador of the United States in Ukraine. I resigned because of Donald Trump's foreign policy ”writes Bridget Brink in an editorial published in the American daily Detroit Free Presswhere she accuses the American president of having Privileged Russia by Vladimir Putin, to the detriment of the kyiv regime.
“I respect the president's right and responsibility to determine the foreign policy of the United States-with the appropriate brakes and counterweights in the United States Congresswrites the diplomat. Unfortunately, since the start of the Trump administration, politics has consisted in putting pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than the aggressor, Russia “she adds.
“Under these conditions, I could no longer apply the administration policy in good faith and I considered that it was my duty to withdraw me”she continues.
“I think that the only way to guarantee the interests of the United States is to defend democracies and to oppose autocrats. Peace at all costs is not peace at all, it is appeasement “add mme Brink, recalling that if “We let Putin redraw the borders, he will not stop in Ukraine”.
Bridget Brink resigned from his position as an ambassador to kyiv in April. Appointed by former president Joe Biden, she arrived there in May 2022, a few months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
