Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has issued a dire warning about the future of Ukraine, suggesting that the nation could spiral into civil unrest and even face total collapse if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump imposes an unfavourable peace agreement with Russia. Kuleba’s stark prediction comes amid growing fears in Kiev that Trump’s approach may include cutting financial and military support, potentially leaving Ukraine vulnerable. Trump’s vague peace plans have already unsettled Ukrainian officials, with concerns mounting over the nation’s stability and sovereignty under a forced settlement.

In a stunning turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s latest plea for advanced missile systems was rejected by the Pentagon, leaving Kiev empty-handed in its bid to counter Russia's ongoing military offensive. Despite Zelensky’s urgent request for long-range missiles to boost Ukraine's defenses, U.S. defense officials have opted to prioritize established international buyers over Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in Washington's support strategy. The denial comes as a major blow to Zelensky, who had banked on securing vital military aid to bolster his nation’s resistance against Russia. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has seized the moment to mock Zelensky’s failed attempt, casting doubt on Ukraine’s future prospects in the conflict and sending ripples across the geopolitical landscape.
