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.
