It\\u2019s one of independent Ukraine\\u2019s dominant paradigms: being pulled between more powerful forces.

For a quarter-century, Kyiv swung between Russia and the West. In 2019, U.\\u2009S.\\u202fPresident Donald Trump tried to use it as a political bludgeon against his Democratic competitor, former Vice President Joseph Biden.

Now, Ukraine finds itself at the center of a battle for Motor Sich, a strategic aircraft engine manufacturer. A Chinese company wants to buy it. The United States opposes that sale.
