The climate of very high tension between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump. After the blow and remote response, the President of the United States in fact unloaded the Ukrainian leader: a “never elected dictator”, “a mediocre comedian” who “refuses to call elections, is very down in the Ukrainian polls and the only one Which was good in is having played biden like a violin. ” The attack on Truth followed the accusation of the Tycoon aimed at Kiev’s number one that he started war with Moscow. For his part, Zelensky pointed his finger at Trump to live “in a Russian disinformation bubble”.
Trump seems to support the narrative of Vladimir Putinbut the hardest attack of the Head of the White House came after Zelensky’s complaints for not having been invited to the talks to Riad between Americans and Russians: “Well, you were there for three years. You would have had to close it after three years. You would never have to start it. You could have made an agreement. ” So he complained that in Ukraine there were no elections for martial law, claiming that Zelensky’s popularity is “at 4%”. Then the Ukrainian president came to the dose, accusing Trump of having “helped Putin to get out of isolation from years”, with a “non -positive impact on Ukraine”.
A few hours ago, in an intervention in Miami at the Future Investment Initiative, Trump reiterated that the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is a “modest level comedian” who did a “terrible” and “refuses to call the elections”, while it should hurry otherwise “it will no longer have a land” as the war “is taking the wrong direction”. The American president also thanked Saudi Arabia for hosting the talks with Russia who have gone “well” and represent “an important step in relations between the two countries. On the same wavelength Elon Musk: “Zelensky cannot claim to represent the will of the Ukrainian people unless you restore the freedom of the press and stop deleting the elections”.
In short, the rift appears clear, but there is also a fact to consider: Zelensky cannot do without the USA. Europe He continues to be on his side but alone it is not enough to give him the security guarantees he asks. But the relationship with Trump is at historic lows and the peace agreement shared by Washington risks costing several territories in Kiev. So what to do? The Ukrainian president is understandably under pressure considering that Russian attacks do not stop. It is not a mystery that Zelensky has tried to adopt a more conciliatory attitude with Washington.
Today Zelensky will meet the American correspondent Keith Kellogg, and hopefully In a “constructive” work with the United States: “We plan a meeting with General Kellogg, and it is very important for us that the meeting and our work with America in general are constructive”. Zelensky added that “together with America and Europe, peace can be safer: this is our goal. The main thing is that this is not only our goal, but also a goal shared with our partners. Especially on the eve of the third anniversary of the beginning of this war, a war that we in Ukraine want to end from the first second “. In short, Kiev can only continue to count on Washington, despite the lapalissian differences in views. Zelensky himself in the past had been categorical on this point: “Without the United States, Ukraine will be defeated“.
Moreover, the United States are the country that most of all had guaranteed weapons and ammunition to fight, such a support – added to the European one – which allowed Ukraine not to succumb to Vladimir Putin army for three years. Now the game will be played at a diplomatic level, in the hope of reaching the long -awaited white smoke smoke for peace, invoked insistently also by the Ukrainian people, understandably exhausted by the conflict.
