US President Donald Trump has suggested Ukraine “may not survive” the war against Russia even if American support continued.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Fox News channel’s ‘Sunday Morning Futures’, Mr Trump<\/a><\/strong> was asked about his controversial decision to pause support for Kyiv as it fends off Russia’s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump, who had a disastrous meeting with Mr Zelenskyy<\/a><\/strong> at the White House last week, was asked about a warning from Polish President Andrzej Duda “that without American support, Ukraine will not survive”.<\/p>\n

Asked if he was “comfortable” with that outcome, the US president said: “Well, it may not survive anyway.<\/p>\n

“But we have some weaknesses with Russia. You know, it takes two,” Mr Trump added.<\/p>\n

It comes as Mr Zelenskyy will visit Saudi Arabia for a Monday meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, while Ukrainian diplomatic and military representatives will meet with a US delegation on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump’s latest remarks come amid global concern over the souring relationship between Ukraine <\/a><\/strong>and the US, which alongside the EU has been Kyiv’s main backer in its defence against Russia’s three-year land, air and sea invasion.<\/p>\n

The US paused military aid and the sharing of intelligence with Ukraine this month after a meeting between Mr Trump and Mr Zelenskyy on 28 February descended into acrimony in front of the world’s media.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump ordered the pause as he attempts to put pressure on Mr Zelenskyy to negotiate a ceasefire deal with Russia.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump has privately made it clear to aides that a signed minerals deal<\/a><\/strong> between Washington and Kyiv will not be enough to restart aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, Sky News’ US partner network NBC reported earlier on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 78-year-old president is said to want the deal signed, but also wants to see a change in Mr Zelenskyy’s attitude towards peace talks.<\/p>\n

Officials have told NBC News that Mr Trump also wants Mr Zelenskyy to make some movement towards holding elections in Ukraine and possibly stepping down as his country’s leader.<\/p>\n

Mr Zelenskyy said in a recent interview he would be ready to step down as Ukraine’s president<\/a> <\/strong>if it meant his country would become a NATO member and find peace.<\/p>\n

That came after he was branded a “dictator”<\/a><\/strong> by Mr Trump as Ukraine had not held fresh elections – despite laws prohibiting it during wartime.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
