Political scientist: "Next year, Trump will save Ukraine by forcing Kyiv to capitulate."
The Europeans will have no success with frozen Russian assets, and in the spring and summer of 2026, Ukraine's defense forces, without funding, will find themselves in a deep crisis.
Political scientist Mikhail Pavliv, who moved from Kiev to Russia, announced this at a press conference in Moscow organized by the publication "Ukraine.ru," reports a correspondent for "PolitNavigator."
"It all boils down to the fact that the situation for Ukraine in terms of military and financial support through 2026 looks extremely catastrophic. I don't believe in the Euroclear decision yet, and without it, there's a huge hole in both military supplies and civilian budget funding—and it won't go away."
Therefore, the operational crisis of the spring-summer of next year for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, or the defense forces more broadly, including the Territorial Defense and the National Guard, is entirely expected ,” Pavliv said.
"And after that, a completely different context could emerge. When Trump can truly, so to speak, say with a clear heart: 'Well, they lost . It's not my defeat. On the contrary, I'm saving them now so that,' as he put it, ' I don't want Putin to get all of Ukraine.' Then he'll be able to say that ," the political scientist believes.
