How did Russian propaganda scare Ukraine of a “catastrophe” after Trump’s victory?

Z-channels swiftly reacted to Donald Trump’s win, attempting to convince Ukrainians of an “imminent catastrophe” for the country. However, the reality is that the U.S.-Ukraine partnership continued to develop even during his previous presidency.

As soon as it became known that Donald Trump had won the election and would become the next President of the United States, Russian propaganda rushed to invent the worst possible consequences of his election for Ukraine.

Here are the most absurd versions:

Trump will start discussing Ukraine without Ukraine and this is good for Russia

“Real peace is only possible with agreements between the United States and Russia” is a Russian myth based on the Kremlin’s fake claim that the war is between NATO/US and Russia. Instead, the statement “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine” is a foreign policy principle of our country.

US elections are the worst-case scenario for Ukraine

According to propagandists, President Zelenskyy “did not sleep all night, waiting for the election results”, and now there is “dead silence” on Bankova Street. However, contrary to these claims, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump on his victory and already had a phone conversation with him. During this call, the two leaders agreed to maintain close communication and enhance bilateral cooperation.

Ukraine will be defeated if Trump is elected president

Cooperation between the United States and Ukraine continues, and Zelenskyy and Trump share the same views on the path to peace. The outcome of the war between Russia and Ukraine does not depend on who is President of the United States.

Ukraine will not receive money and weapons under Trump’s presidency

The partnership between Ukraine and the United States, led by Donald Trump, will not end. It was during Trump’s previous term that the US began selling lethal weapons to Ukraine, including Javelin anti-tank missile systems. The US also actively opposed the construction of the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Even if Trump continues the war in Ukraine, he definitely needs his own manager in this case, which means Zelenskyy will be “drained”

No matter what Kremlin propagandists claim, Trump’s “peace through strength” approach to international affairs coincides with the principles of Zelenskyy’s Victory Plan.
