Yes, this ad is directly aimed at Republicans. It says if you elect Trump he will abandon Ukraine to Putin.

That's the message of the ad. But the OP is asking about intonation. Or am I being too literal?

To be fair there is a good chance that is what Trump would do if elected, but I was already going to vote democrat regardless of that add.

Before I saw the ad, I thought it meant that Trump would poison his critics (like Putin did to people like Navalny).

Yes, I was curious if people with autism are aware of speaking patterns used here.
Are they too obvious?
Just right?
What is intonation?

My issue is that a Ukrainian accent and a Russian accent are too similar for most people in the U.S. to distinguish between, and so a thick accent like this could be confusing.

What exactly are you asking?

The narrator has an accent that sounds like it could authenically Ukrainian. Works for me.
