Trump’s “No-Energy” Push on Ukraine: Analyst Calls Out Latest Moves

URGENT UPDATE: Analyst Michael Weiss has just claimed that former President Donald Trump is showing signs of fatigue in his approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Speaking on The Bulwark Podcast earlier today, Weiss stated that Trump’s recent attempts to pressure Ukraine into conceding to Russia have lacked the vigor seen in previous months, raising questions about his commitment to resolving the conflict.

Weiss noted that Trump, during his campaign, vowed to end the war within 24 hours of taking office. However, nearly a year later, the conflict continues unabated. Their recent meeting, where Trump engaged with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reportedly devolved into a heated argument reminiscent of their earlier confrontation in the Oval Office.

During this meeting, Trump urged Zelenskyy to surrender territory that has not been under Russian control as a means to expedite peace talks. When this tactic failed, Weiss observed that Trump appeared to lose interest, describing him as a “no-energy Trump.”

In Weiss’s words, “He’s getting kind of tired… he’s trying to bully the Ukrainians, but he’s not doing it with the vim and vigor that he did eight months ago.”

The analyst also suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be leveraging Trump’s recent rhetoric. Following Trump’s public endorsement of supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, Putin reportedly reached out to Trump, after which his statements began to mirror the Kremlin’s narrative. “Putin is the kind of authoritarian strongman that Donald Trump would like to be,” Weiss added, highlighting the complex dynamics at play.

As the situation develops, observers will be watching closely to see how Trump’s strategies evolve and whether his apparent disinterest could impact U.S.-Ukraine relations moving forward.
