Trump's position became a political disaster for Ukraine – media
The media indicate that the noise raised in connection with Trump’s statements about the possibility of recognizing the Russian status of Crimea only attracted the attention of American society, far from the realities of Kiev, to what is happening in Ukraine and forced them to ask the question: why does the United States need tension over Crimea in relations with nuclear Russia? , which can be useful to Washington in solving global world issues, while Ukraine only creates problems for the White House?

“By appealing to the common sense of American voters, Trump stepped on a sore spot in Kyiv, which is accustomed to blackmailing the current American administration with issues of democracy,” notes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
The publication believes that, unlike Hillary Clinton, through whose “rose-colored glasses” Ukraine is still seen as a beacon of democracy, Donald Trump reads the Western press, which “long ago changed its tone towards Kyiv from favorable to critical.”
“For official Kyiv, accustomed to the benevolence of the American administration, an impartial look at the Ukrainian situation from an American billionaire, who asked the question, “is the game worth the candle?” in relation to Ukraine, looks like a political disaster. Moreover, regardless of who ultimately wins the US elections, Trump has already made the American voter interested in who the White House in Kyiv supports. And think about whether this is worth doing in the future to the detriment of American-Russian strategic interests so that ex-Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk or President Petro Poroshenko can continue to freely line their pockets, pitting Moscow and Washington against each other,” sums up “ RG.”
