“At the risk of becoming unpopular in Ukraine, I will admit that Trump could tell the truth that the referendum in Crimea was fair, because the Russian-speaking population there is a significant majority,” Gingrich said.
However, he added that the United States should continue to support Ukraine economically, as well as provide military assistance to Kyiv. However, according to a Trump ally, Ukraine now “has little chance” of joining NATO, and “it would look like a provocation for the Russians.”
“Putin was trained by the KGB. He represents the generation that saw the collapse of the Soviet Union. The next leader, I hope, will think much less about the restoration of the Russian Empire,” the American also said.
