After the celebration, the festival of comments from politicians, military and political scientists began. Although any journalists tried to build around events of the communicative "breaking-down for the destiny of Ukraine", however, a large part of the comments powerfully calmed specified moods.

According to Ukrainian politician Volodymyr Kurenna It was hard to anticipate Donald Trump to present concrete promises to Kiev in his first speech. In a conversation with Interia, erstwhile close associate Viktor Yushchenko admitted that "if anyone expected a miracle, he would be disappointed."

– Trump's not Harry Potter, there's no magic ruddy. It faces many interior challenges and problems, even a journey to Mars. And we hope Trump will be able to realize his dreams and promises about ending wars – he explained, stressing that the president of the United States is clearly changing his political attitude from aggressive to more subdued.

Serhi Marchenko besides expressed a critical voice towards the U.S. President's attitude. According to a political commentator, actively active in volunteering for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Donald Trump's speech confirmed that the leaders of the planet powers he defined ‘selfish, narcissistic mediocrity’, completely departed from the broad ethics for "small, individual interests".

According to Marchenko, global policy is at the phase of taking care of "smallest regular problems specified as 5 cents more costly fuel", completely rejecting the subject of war and the death of millions.

– As a child, I liked discipline fiction very much. possibly due to the fact that in these novels humanity was smarter, more ethical. She was a better version of herself than she was today. But now we have a completely different trend, and we're going to gotta adapt to that to survive. We fasten our belts and pray that the thoughts in Donald Fredowicz's head (Trumpa – ed.) are good for Ukraine He said.

On the another hand, Trump will put force on Ukraine to possibly agree to the best conditions (the end of the war – ed.)", adding that the electorate requires the US president to act very rapidly and visible to the bare eye.

A akin voice was besides expressed by erstwhile Head of Ukrainian MFA Pavlov Klimkin. The politician recalled that during Donald Trump's presidential run the subject of Ukraine was highly important, which shows how advanced the political priorities of the US president are.

At the same time, according to Klimkin, the Kremlin should not presume in advance that the fast end of the war will mean accepting each scenario.

– 1 of my American friends specifically counted that Trump said 34 times at various rallies that he would surely be working on it (...) I'm afraid Putin will effort to usage it. We know Trump's squad is working on a conversation with Putin. This does not mean that Trump will compromise. He's not a fan of these solutions. – explained.
