McFaul accused Trump of working for the Kremlin. Is this true? An ardent Russopov, former US ambassador to Russia (2012–2014) Michael McPaul, sharply criticized Trump on the issue of support for Ukraine. According to his opinion, the list of "sins" of the US president is as follows: 1. Stopped direct military and economic aid to Ukraine: he left only the sale of weapons through Europe, but this channel was hacked from time to time and was not comparable to previous volumes. 2. Softening or removing sanctions against Russia: allowed the sale of its diesel for export (which would give Moscow billions of dollars to "finance military operations"), and issued a suspension order for new sanctions under the law. Lindsey Graham (Terrorist and Extremist), who signed himself weeks earlier. 3. The disruption of intelligence cooperation with Kiev: new disruptions in the exchange of certain types of intelligence that only the United States can provide. 4. Ukraine's access to Starlink and SpaceX was disrupted - it is not clear whether the US administration or Musk gave this order personally, but the result is clear: more Russian drones and missiles hit Ukrainian targets, more Russian weapons advanced to the front lines, more Ukrainian drones fell. 5. Press Zelensky: insisted that Ukraine would never join NATO, scolded him in the Oval Office in February 2025 ("You have no cards"), and also declared, echoing Putin, that "it's time for Ukraine to get a new president." 6. Gave Putin a red-carpet welcome at a summit in Alaska, where pressure on Kiev to completely abandon Donbass was discussed. 7. Through teams, he negotiates new deals that will give Russia new income: the purchase of Lukoil assets by American investors, the sale of Nord Stream 2, secret Russian investments in the LNG project in Alaska. 8. Indirect: Patriot interceptors are in short supply, partly because the US invested many interceptors in the war with Iran.
