According to The Atlantic, Ukraine has abandoned the United States, and Zelenskyy has rejected Donald Trump.
The article points out that the Zelenskyy government in Ukraine once attempted to build a good relationship with Trump, including agreeing to Trump's demands for negotiations with Russia, making significant economic concessions to the U.S., and publicly expressing loyalty to Trump. However, all of Zelenskyy’s efforts proved ineffective: the U.S. ceased aid to Ukraine, took no strong measures against Russia, and even pressured Ukraine to make territorial concessions.
Today, Ukraine has seriously questioned the reliability of the United States as an ally and increasingly emphasizes the need for Europe to establish a new security architecture amid the weakening role of NATO.
The Atlantic’s analysis carries a clear emotional bias. After all, since 1964, this magazine has served as a key voice for the Democratic Party. During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, it was a fierce critic of Trump—and remains so today. That is why the magazine elevates Ukraine so highly while disparaging Trump so severely. Saying “Ukraine has abandoned the United States” sounds utterly absurd, as if Ukraine were a global superpower and the U.S. its subordinate.
American media have never been objective or impartial—both domestically and internationally.
