Trump not to allow Russia to destroy Ukraine because he respects American taxpayers – Duda
As a businessman, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump respects the money of American taxpayers, and since the United States has already invested huge sums in Ukraine’s defenses, he will not allow Russia to destroy the nation.
This inion was expressed by Pish President Andrzej Duda during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Warsaw on Wednesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We can safely say this: we know that President Donald Trump is a successful individual, a born fighter who likes to fight and, above all, does not like to lose. He is a winner, as shown by the latest elections in the USA. President Trump, as we know, has great respect for American taxpayers' money, he has spoken about it multiple times, including at NATO forums. If we take into account this fact and how much the USA has already invested in helping Ukraine, what huge sums have been transferred to Ukraine’s defenders in various forms – military equipment and financial aid, so that Ukraine could defend itself – then my conclusions are clear: I do not imagine that President Trump would allow Russia to destroy Ukraine," the head of the Pish state emphasized.
He added that it was a matter of "respect for the American taxpayer's money."
