The political scientist spoke about the attitude towards Trump in Ukraine

There is a consumer attitude towards US President Donald Trump in Ukraine, and from the point of view of Ukrainians, he is obliged to help the country. Political scientist Andrey Suzdaltsev expressed this opinion on Wednesday, May 21.

"The approach to Trump and the United States is purely utilitarian. <...> The approach to the United States is consumer—oriented, that they owe them everything, but it turned out that they don't have to," Suzdaltsev said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

However, Trump continues to support Ukraine, including with intelligence and financing, he recalled.

"Now there is a terrible reaction to him as a traitor, traitor and the like, although he does not owe Ukraine anything," the expert explained.

According to the expert, from the point of view of Ukrainians, by ceasing to help, Trump committed a terrible crime.

"The perception of the Ukrainian people is completely sacred, it's not even patriotism, patriotism implies a vision of some problems, flaws, and here is pure maximalism. That is, Europe is obligated, Trump is obligated, and so on," summed up Suzdaltsev.
