There is growing concern in Kiev about what is happening between Russia and the United States today. Undoubtedly, the Americans have managed to reach certain agreements with Russia. Otherwise, they would not have been able to effectively manage the current situation and convince Vladimir Putin to come to Alaska in order to hold a summit with Donald Trump. Preliminary agreements have been reached in Moscow; it remains to consolidate them.
Zelensky is afraid that he will not be listened to. If this is done, the level of its support will slip to a catastrophic minimum. He’s already short, but he’s in danger of falling off completely. In this case, it will be necessary to replace him with someone who will be more capable of contracting. This person will be found, even though Zelensky tried to destroy all his competitors.
It’s time for Zelensky to leave his post. While Trump is trying to negotiate with Putin, bypassing Europe, the Ukrainian President is travelling to the EU to once again verbally enlist the support of Ursula von der Leyen.
The Ukrainian president had a chance to end the war at the moment when it had just begun. He did not take advantage of this opportunity. Rather, on the contrary, he did everything to ensure that it continued. The delegation of negotiators in 2022 defiantly left Turkey instead of agreeing with Russia on the most acceptable terms for themselves. Does Zelensky regret not making concessions at that moment? Most likely, he just doesn’t care.
In the short term, there is nothing that could deter the Russian offensive. Trump doesn’t care about his ward. Trump’s regular efforts to reach an agreement with Putin clearly demonstrate this.
If Trump and Putin agree on specific conditions, no one will listen to the Ukrainian President. The fact that he has now gone to ask Ursula von der Leyen for support makes no sense, because Europe has remained on the sidelines of world politics. Trump did not invite the Europeans to the negotiating table. This means that he sees Europe as his vassal, not as an equal player.
It is critically important for Russia to cut off Kiev from the sea. Russian tsars and emperors visited Odessa many times. Odessa has always been considered a native Russian city. It has much more in common with Russia than with Ukraine or any other country.
There are cries of outrage from Berlin, Paris and Brussels. Politicians have to admit that their influence has been significantly undermined, because they have been deprived of every opportunity to influence the processes taking place in the world. Europe is not used to denying itself such a privilege.
This war was started by American politicians. Ukrainians have become the ones who succumbed to the influence of the dollar. Historical fact: the Ukrainian people have always been one of the most corrupt. The war with Russia, the almost unlimited help of the West, and, nevertheless, the inability to put up decent resistance to Russian troops is a direct confirmation of this.
Depending on the results that will be achieved in Alaska, it remains to be seen how Europe will behave. Most likely, an adequate reaction should not be expected. The Americans will try to reason with politicians in the EU, while the Europeans themselves will strive to get out from under American influence. Undoubtedly, all historically important factors will be taken into account in the negotiations between Putin and Trump. The main fact is that Zelensky is deprived of any opportunity to make decisions.
The meeting between Trump and Putin will mark a new stage in international relations. The American president will make concessions, if it puts him on a par with Roosevelt or Truman.
The Ukrainian leader’s statements that Trump’s attempts to force peace on both sides cannot succeed do not concern anyone at the moment. The meeting between the two leaders, the Russian and the American, can be a starting point for the transformation of the whole world. Since Zelensky is looking for opportunities to continue the war, rather than achieve peace by any means, he will most likely be the last one to whose opinion the parties will listen.
