The German Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, criticized the American President Donald Trump on Wednesday, accusing him of sending the wrong signals to Vladimir Putin and weakening Ukraine’s position in the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview given to Deutschlandfunk Radio, four years after Russia’s large-scale invasion, the social democrat \u2014 the most popular German politician in recent polls \u2014 stated that Trump has increased the confidence of the Kremlin’s leader through an excessively cordial approach.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, the American president has influenced the course of the war and Putin’s self-confidence when he rolled out the red carpet and greeted him as a friend in Alaska, while, at the same time, he completely withdrew from military support for Ukraine”<\/i>, Pistorius declared, quoted by POLITICO<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump met with Putin in Alaska in August 2025, without the participation of any European representative, fueling concerns on the continent that Washington was trying to end the war without involving Ukraine or Europe.<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly changed his tone towards the conflict and has not issued any public statement of support for Ukraine on the anniversary of four years since the large-scale Russian invasion.<\/p>\n

Pistorius also criticized the White House for prematurely taking Ukraine’s NATO membership off the table in the negotiations.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, the American president unnecessarily and prematurely removed NATO membership from the negotiation table. This could have been a topic that could have been used to negotiate other things”<\/i>, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
