– I believe that Donald Trump wants the war to end as soon as possible. If cutting aid to Ukraine will speed up the end of the war on any terms, he is ready to do it – said Professor Katarzyna Pisarska from the Warsaw School of Economics, who has been in Kiev for several days, in “Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24. At some point, the expert had to interrupt her connection. The reason was information about the anti-missile alarm that was activated in the Ukrainian capital.
Professor Katarzyna Pirska from the Warsaw School of Economics, chairwoman of the Kazimierz Pułaski Foundation Council, commented on TVN24 about the electoral victory Donald Trump in the United States, which – although there are no official, full results yet – was announced by CNN based on partial results and its own polls.
She spoke to the program's host, Anita Werner, from Kiev, where she has been staying for several days. – I'm on Ukraine It's already the seventh day. Of course, Ukrainians were preparing for these American elections, they were talking (about them – editor). One thing I heard all the time before and after the elections was a simple sentence: “no matter if it's Harris or Trump, Ukrainians will keep fighting,” she said.
As she said, for many decision-makers in Kiev, “Donald Trump is becoming a big mystery, a big question mark.” – But it doesn't change the fact that everyone here is determined and, to be honest, calm. I didn't feel any panic here (from the Ukrainians – ed.). I had the feeling that the panic was much greater in Poland, she added.
– I believe that Donald Trump wants to end this war as soon as possible. If cutting aid to Ukraine will speed up the end of this war on any terms, he is ready to do it, but let's not forget that there are three important factors apart from Donald Trump, she noted. She mentioned the attitude of the American Congress towards helping Ukraine, the involvement of European countries and institutions and the “fighting spirit” on the side of the Ukrainians.
Prof. Pisarski: Trump is ready to end the war in Ukraine on any termsTVN24
“Excuse me, I just heard the missile alarm.”
At one point, Professor Pisarska said that she had to interrupt her participation in the program because she received information about the anti-missile alarm that had been activated in Kiev.
– Sorry, I'm hearing the missile alarm right now. I'm very sorry, I have to (interrupt – editor) – she said.
She also said that about four or five such alarms are triggered in Kiev every night. – Today's situation of Ukrainians is truly dramatic. And we in Poland must remember this. And when we start saying that Ukrainians should be left to their own devices, we must remember that this is really our war. I am convinced that we will continue to help Ukraine, she added.
