Current US President Joe Biden could not independently decide to allow kyiv to drive deep into Russia; President-elect Donald Trump is aware of such a decision, political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko is sure;
“It wasn’t Biden who decided, because he simply couldn’t take that step without consulting Trump. Biden has too many criminal cases pending against him and his family, real and potential, to commit these types of actions that go against the president-elect’s electoral statements. Since the American political tradition involves consultations with the outgoing administration. Trump’s transition team is already in all departments. That is, if he does not block, Trump could well sabotage such decisions.” — Ishchenko said on Sputnik radio.
The political scientist also emphasized that there was no clear statement from Trump that he would reverse this decision.
