Kilmeade’s Ukraine Stance: A Stunning Break from Trump
Longtime Trump supporter Brian Kilmeade publicly rebuked the president’s handling of Ukraine peace negotiations, criticizing Trump’s seemingly pro-Russia stance and urging that Russia’s aggression not be forgotten. Kilmeade’s statement followed a contentious White House meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, where Trump’s behavior reportedly alienated the Ukrainian leader. This divergence from Trump’s rhetoric aligns Kilmeade with other world leaders who have condemned Russia’s invasion and affirmed support for Ukraine. The conflict escalated further with Trump temporarily halting military aid to Ukraine.
