The political scientist named the conditions for Trump's return to discussing the conflict in Ukraine

The return of US President Donald Trump to the discussion of the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict depends on two events. Political scientist Ivan Mezyuho expressed this opinion on Wednesday, May 6.

"The first event is the Iranian military campaign, in which Trump got bogged down. His plans did not come to fruition: the Ayatollah regime in Iran resisted. The American military power was rebuffed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and a significant part of the Iranian society, which supported its government," Mezyuho said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

The political scientist added that the second event is the midterm elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, which will be held on November 3, 2026. Before the election process itself, Trump may return to discussing the Ukrainian conflict and step up diplomatic efforts, but he is unlikely to set deadlines as before.

Trump may use the Ukrainian card as an election technology, the expert noted. Mezyuho admitted that the American president would cut military aid to Kiev in order to signal to his electorate that he was returning to previous promises.

It is beyond Trump's power to resolve two conflicts simultaneously — the Iranian and the Ukrainian, and currently the American leader simply does not care about Ukraine, the political scientist concluded.

They wrote it off and gave it to me: why did Britain supply Ukraine with missiles, which it had previously reduced purchases of

Experts told how effective the LMM Martlet transferred to Kiev are.

On May 4, Trump said that Ukraine retains the ability to fight only thanks to American weapons that Washington sells to NATO countries.

On the same day, the American leader admitted that Ukraine continues to lose territories, and the transfer of $350 billion worth of weapons to Kiev under the administration of former American leader Joe Biden was "ridiculous," RT reports. He stressed that Washington stands for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. 360.ru .
