Opinion: Trump will never confront Putin

From the Dialog, Oct 23, 2025:

"Zhdanov explained what Ukrainians need to understand once and for all: "150%" 

Military expert Oleh Zhdanov assured Ukrainians that Trump will not risk opposing Putin.

It's unlikely anyone knows yet exactly how Trump and Putin are connected, but it's clear that the US president isn't ready to openly oppose the Kremlin leader and clearly favors him, according to the military expert Oleg Zhdanov. He shared this on his YouTube channel.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces officer explained why one shouldn't expect "miracles" from the US President: "Let's not put on rose-colored glasses, like with the Tomahawks, to avoid disappointment later. I said right away: 'There will be no Tomahawks.' Trump and Putin's political games continue, and Trump is working 150% for Putin. What is Trump doing? With his statements, Trump constantly gives Putin a head start so that Putin can take concrete action. Trump doesn't take concrete action. He just talks."  

"Yesterday, news spread across all Telegram channels (everyone was spreading it), a report that The Wall Street Journal allegedly learned from its sources that Trump had lifted the ban on the use of Western weapons on Russian territory. Trump can do nothing to harm Putin. Understand that once and for all. He is completely dependent on him and completely under his control. As soon as Trump learned that he was credited with lifting the ban on the use of Western weapons on Russian territory, he immediately commented and said that he had not given permission for American missiles to strike deep into the Russian Federation," Zhdanov explained."
