Sebastian Gorka has been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as Senior Director for National Security Policy and Deputy Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism. In a recent discussion, Gorka characterized Russian President Vladimir Putin as a 'KGB killer' and a 'thug,' asserting that no negotiated settlement can be reached to resolve the ongoing war in Ukraine. He further described the invasion of Ukraine as Putin's 'Sudetenland,' suggesting it is a precursor to a broader military campaign reminiscent of Hitler's actions in Europe. Gorka indicated that Trump plans to negotiate an end to the conflict by leveraging increased aid to Ukraine as a threat against Putin.
