Kuleba: Ukraine currently has no real leverage over Trump, but must keep looking.
Trump lives in a world of great powers, where big states decide what they want and everyone else obeys. Ukraine lives in another world: we are fighting a great power. 1/
Kuleba: For Trump, Ukraine defeating Russia is like Venezuela defeating the United States.
It simply does not fit his worldview. And he personally sympathizes with Putin; he would like to govern America the way Putin governs Russia. 2/
Kuleba: With European populists, do not just react to slogans.
Scratch the surface and you often find something else: a Russian trail, a business trail, domestic interests. Ukraine has to work with the people and businesses that influence them. 3/
Kuleba: Europe is spoiled by good life. Far-right and far-left forces are offices of fast, easy solutions.
People live in a world of discounts, coupons and entertainment — then want politics to work like a smartphone: fast, cheap and beautiful. 4/
Kuleba: Do not panic over every anti-Ukraine slogan. In Bulgaria, one minister shouted that not a single shell would go to Ukraine, while shells quietly kept going.
In every country there are loud politicians, but only a small part truly believe what they say. 5X
