The difficult choices facing Ukraine’s Zelensky

Ukraine Voludmir Zelinski in a link.

After the catastrophic meeting last Friday in the Oval Office, it seems that nothing says it is decreasing well with President Donald Trump. Now the United States has suspended aid to Ukraine, and its options are increasingly thin.

Even a former Republican ally in the United States, Senator Lindsey Graham, may turn to him, which indicates “he either needs resignation and sending someone around us we can deal with work with him, or needs change.”

What kind of change may be – or should it be resigned if this is the price of our support?

It seems that this option is most likely in the outputs of Zelinski and Ukraine Prime Minister now says that Kiev is open to talks about signing a metal deal with the United States.

Trump told Zelensky Point -Point on Friday that he was not in a very good position: “You don’t have cards now – with us you start getting cards.”

Zelensky was ready to sign the metal deal with Trump on Friday before he was asked to leave the White House.

It seems that this card in particular was on the table, and on Monday night, Zelinski Andrei Yermak said that he was working on this with Republican Congress member Brian Fitzpatrick and the deal was “decisive to both countries.”

But it is clear that the Trump administration stands up for more.

Zelinski cannot be humble in extreme apology. After three years of Russian bombing, the Ukrainians are not in mood to surrender.

But he will have to find enough words to please Trump.

He may also have to accept a ceasefire on Trump’s conditions, even if he still believes that peace is “very far.”

Does the deal mean resuming aid and to what extent? Certainly this is the priority of Kiev.

Olyander Merizko, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Parliament, says that the suspension of American aid is dangerous to Ukraine’s ability to defend its civilians.

Falling on his sword is not a woe or he can think of it.

Trump has called it an elected and a dictator, repeating the Russian propaganda recitation of Vladimir Putin since the beginning of the war.

Zelinski said on Sunday evening that he “seems to be a little democratic” to be informed of the Ukrainians who should be their president.

After all the captain elected to Ukraine, and although his mandate was aimed at ending last year, he is still president under the martial law, which specifically came due to the Russian invasion of Putin.

It will be a great result for Putin, who has sought to replace Zelinski since the beginning of the war and will not speak to him directly “because of his lack of legitimacy.”

But the only way Zelinski considers to be in exchange for NATO membership in Ukraine, and Trump said he should forget that.

Several Ukrainian figures showed on Tuesday that they will stick to it as long as it is necessary without help in the United States, but some reports indicate that the United States’ pause has stopped important and artillery missiles.

Ukrainian deputy Federi Vader Fire Fire Fernenvsky told local media that it could last for about six months, but only the United States can provide them with air defense and long -range missile systems.

Prime Minister Dennis Shmeisal says that Ukraine is already producing about a third of the weapons it needs, and its goal was 50 %.

Can Zelinski rely on European allies instead?

Collective European countries have pushed more than the United States with aid to Ukraine, and the head of the European Union Executive Committee, Ursula von der Layen, announced plans to enhance the ability of defense in Europe.

It suggests up to 800 billion euros in defense financing – some of which will also go to Ukraine’s help.

But the European Union and the United Kingdom are determined that US security guarantees are vital in the event of a ceasefire, even if the words of Sir Kerr Starmer “” it is right for Europe to lift heavy. ”

Dennis Shamiel himself describes the concrete US guarantees as an “existential mission” of Ukraine and the entire continent.
