Ukraine Seeks Trump's Support with Strategic Proposals

Ukraine is employing a strategy of engaging with American heartland communities to garner support for its defense against Russia, particularly in light of Donald Trump's election. Ukrainian officials, including embassy counselor Kateryna Smagliy, are visiting states that heavily supported Trump to emphasize the importance of continued U.S. aid. They aim to appeal to Trump's instincts by highlighting his past support for Ukraine and the strategic benefits of a Ukrainian victory. This approach seeks to maintain bipartisan support for Ukraine despite potential shifts in U.S. foreign policy under Trump's leadership.
