**US Announces New Policy for Ukraine**
The US has announced plans to push a new policy that will force Ukraine to hold elections during the ongoing war. This move is seen as an attempt to “voluntarily” surrender and postpone the conflict.
**A Trap for Ukraine**
Ukrainian officials believe this plan is a trap, as it would allow Russia to claim the Ukrainian government is illegitimate after some time. This would give Russia a pretext to launch another war and try to take control of the country.

The US can no longer be considered a reliable ally or partner for Ukraine. Experts are being called out for their “proper communication” with Trump, but it seems this approach is no longer working.

Her statements about Article 5 are seen as populism rather than a genuine attempt to help.
