After Receiving $200 Billion in War Aid, Video Shows Ukrainian Soldiers Burning Effigy of President Trump

KYIV, Ukraine — A group of Ukrainian soldiers burned an effigy of former U.S. President Donald Trump in a video circulating on social media, expressing anger over his stated intention to cut military aid to Ukraine if re-elected.

The footage, which surfaced online, shows individuals in Ukrainian military uniforms setting fire to a Trump effigy while making statements against him. The display comes after the U.S. has provided approximately $200 billion in aid to Ukraine since the start of its war with Russia.

Trump has repeatedly criticized continued U.S. support for Ukraine and has suggested he would scale back or halt funding if he wins the 2024 presidential election. The video appears to reflect growing concerns among Ukrainian forces about a potential shift in American policy.

U.S. officials have not commented on the video, and it remains unclear whether the individuals involved were officially affiliated with Ukraine’s military or if it was created by another entity to sow discontent between the two nations.
