Zelensky and Trump meeting: What world political analysts have predicted now has become a reality. The President of Ukraine, who exhibited a defiant posture before the White House, has now capitulated to the United States of America. European countries also showed aid to Zelensky but upon arriving at home, it seems that Zelensky was able to foresee the future. He, in a manner of speaking, surrendered by saying, “The time has come to align American and Ukrainian efforts.” This was at the time when Trump had equally withdrawn the United States military support to Ukraine. He has issued a long statement compelled by which he is obliged to follow all the demands from America. But there remains a problem. What is the actual underlying issue? Certainly is not the case that Zelensky is in the situation to be so magnanimous, That is what needs to be put together.
What did Zelensky say? In context – Ukraine President Zelensky made a social media revelation that his white house meeting has not gone as per his plan or expectations and it is regrettable that that has been the case. He went on to remark, “as such, I am prepared to pursue engagement with the US and the Trump administration.”
In his words, Trump was a strong leader, and his team stood prepared to lastingly achieve peace under his leadership. In addition, he stated that Ukraine is more than willing to negotiate peace as soon as possible because, arguably, no one desires peace as much as the citizens of his country do.
The Ukrainian President has also advanced certain ideas to end the war. He proposed that the first stage might involve the emancipation of certain prisoners of war. Afterward an aerial ceasefire should be enforced, meaning no missiles or bombs – particularly on energy and civilian infrastructure – should be used. He remarked that should Russia adopt counterpart actions, Ukraine would be primed to accelerate significantly in that direction. Moreover, Zelensky has proposed granting special access to the United States for his country’s mineral resources, indicating readiness for new deals on economic and security cooperation.
Do you fear any bond between Trump and Putin?
What has changed in Zelensky's position? The answer is rather complicated because it has two edges. On the one, the anticipated European assistance did not come. Or Europe cannot provide it. And on the other, the possible relationship between Trump and Putin. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov already said that America's ceasing support for Ukraine is the greatest contribution to make towards peace. There is no doubt that people know there are closed door meetings between American diplomats and Russian officials to find a solution to the conflict. Trump has made a decision. He will unite with Russia irrespective of the scenario. One can easily comprehend Ukraine is losing ground.
The failure of Europe and the submission of Zelensky...
More than a few analysts stated that regardless of how hard European nations work, there will never be progress made without America’s support. Even though Europe pledged support to Ukraine, it has been over a year since the war started, and in terms of military and economic aid, support is dwindling. There are also some internal differences in various European nations on continuing support for Ukraine. On the flip side, Ukraine not receiving monetary support from America has dire consequences for their army and encourages Russia. This put a lot of pressure on Zelensky and left him with few options.
What will happen next in Ukraine?
The next question is, what is next? His pledge to cooperate with America means unfettered cooperation with Trump which is evident in his strategy. This implies that the land and sea minerals Ukraine has will be extracted by America. The more pertinent issue is whether Trump aids Ukraine or goes into a deal with Russia. Trump has his eyes on Europe and China. Right now, Trump is about to give his first speech in the US Congress, and it will be interesting to see what plans these people have in store.
