Senator Robin Padilla has endorsed former President Trump’s position on the Ukraine-Russia war, believing it prevents World War III. His remarks emphasize the need for peace and shared prosperity. Meanwhile, tensions have escalated between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, highlighting diplomatic challenges. The Philippines continues to support Ukraine amid these developments.
Senator Robin Padilla has publicly supported former US President Donald Trump’s stance regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict, asserting that Trump’s position can help avert a potential World War III. In a Facebook post, Padilla stated, “I salute President Trump. For peace. For the interest of the greater majority. There is no reason for war. The wealth of the world can be shared, not fought over.” He expressed that it is common sense that Russia would not permit itself to be defeated by Ukraine or NATO, warning that such a defeat could lead to nuclear conflict.
Padilla, referencing the ongoing conflict, urged for contemplation on how to enhance the prosperity of the Philippines, declaring, “For the peace of our children and grandchildren, in sha Allah, let’s think of what we really want for our country to prosper. Let’s make our Philippines great again.” He made these comments following a news report about the Kremlin indicating that the US shift in foreign policy corresponds with Russia’s position.
The remarks come in the wake of tense exchanges between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Trump, where Zelenskiy sought to dissuade the US from siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who initiated the conflict. Trump and Vice President JD Vance articulated criticism towards Zelenskiy, indicating a dramatic decline in relations amid the ongoing war. The encounter highlighted the contrasting diplomatic approaches toward Putin and Russia, diverging from traditional alliances and support for Ukraine.
Additionally, Philippine President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has repeatedly affirmed his support for Zelenskiy’s pursuit of peace, acknowledging the courage displayed by the Ukrainian people amid adversity. The Philippines has also condemned Russia’s invasion, aligning with international efforts to uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This support was reinforced during Zelenskyy’s visit to the Philippines, emphasizing ongoing diplomatic relations and solidarity.
Senator Robin Padilla has articulated his support for Donald Trump’s stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, asserting that it may help prevent World War III.
