In other words he’s refusing to back things that nobody thinks Ukraine should do, and things Ukraine itself does not want - with the exception of ATACMS and F16s, which is moot because the US will give them to Ukraine long before the next presidential election anyway.
It’s tough talking for the benefit of the Trump wing of the party which in reality doesn’t much change his previously expressed position and even if he won both the nomination and then the election would be unlikely to alter the US’s posture towards Ukraine anyway.
