The clash is now head -on. Final. Dramatic, for theUkraine. After the first meetings in which it seemed that Volodymyr Zelensky had managed to find the wavelength of Donald Trumpcomplete with a promise to yield to the USA most of their rare lands, now the relationships between the White House and the Ukrainian president are at the minimum terms. So much so that Trump has come to define Zelensky a “dictator” unable to understand that if he insists, he will end up losing the whole country.
Everyone begins yesterday with the shocking statements of The Donald following the first meeting in Riad between Russia And States United. The American president implicitly accused Ukrainian of having “caused war”, it is not known how, invective to which Zelensky today responded for the rhymes. For the Ukrainian president, Trump would be the victim of Russian disinformation, in particular on the fact that – according to the White House – Zelensky would only enjoy the approval between the population and yet insist on wanting to remain in office thanks to martial law (according to the most polls Recent, in reality, it would be 57%).
Kiev’s response made Tycoon’s counter-replica even harder. Zelensky is “a dictator without elections”wrote Trump on his social network, “would do better to move or will no longer remain a country.” The US President reiterated that he is “successfully negotiating the end of the war with Russia, something that everyone admits that only my administration can do”. Also because “Biden has not tried, Europe has failed and Zelensky probably wants to go on with this hen with golden eggs”. Trump swears of “loving Ukraine”, but accuses the Ukrainian president of having done “terrible work”: “his country is destroyed and millions of people died without reason”. And again: “Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent to him are ‘missing’. He refuses to call elections, it goes very bad in the Ukrainian surveys and the only thing he was good was manipulate Biden“. For The Donald, the Kiev leader is a “modest comedian” who “made the United States spend 350 billion dollars with a war that could not be won and that would never have had to start”.
According to what has been leaked in these hours, among the requests made by Putin to the USA, and accepted by Trump himself, there would also be the return to vote in Ukraine. For his part, Putin today called Kiev’s hysteria “inappropriate” and ensured that “Nobody excludes Ukraine“From the negotiating process.” President Trump told me during our telephone interview that, of course, the United States assume that the negotiation process will take place with the participation of both Russia and Ukraine “, explained the head of the Kremlin , cited by the Interfax agency.
