Your guide to what the American elections mean 2024 for Washington and the world

The meeting, which was supposed to enhance the fake confidence between Volodimir Zellinski in Ukraine and US President Donald Trump instead to an extraordinary colloquial match in the Oval Office against the media in the world. After a bleak two weeks, the third anniversary of this week was opened to the extensive invasion of Russia for Ukraine, and the meeting was opened in the White House badly as it could have done. Instead of the world’s biggest power is his friend, the leader of Ukraine now finds the same compressed between us and the Russian leaders who seem to agree with each other more than that.

The background was barely eligible. The United States started talking with Russia without inviting Kyiv. Trump had pressed Zelenskyy to agree on the black blackmail sharing deal, describing it as a dictator. Washington stood with Moscow to support the United Nations resolution in the war that did not criticize Russia. By the time when the two men met, Metal Look a little Less like blackmail. But what is clear now is that the United States abandoned Ukraine.

The Zelenskyy team made it turned out to be several mistakes. One of them was to provide a deal to the United States to exchange Ukraine resources, as part of the broader “victory plan”. This was aimed at motivating the White House to strengthen Kiev’s hand before any talks with Moscow and provide post -war security to deter more Russian aggression. The second is to put a lot of store through the Trump campaign logo through strength. ”

Kiev has reduced Trump’s cruelty in an attempt to extract as much as he could get from the mineral agreement while giving little what Ukraine wanted in return. This is the final week draft It was less famous than the first, but it did not have a security background. The US President’s assertion that the presence of American workers who extract minerals and minerals in Ukraine will prevent more Russian attacks lacking credibility. Many Americans and American companies in Ukraine were in February 2022.

Zelenskyy has learned the difficult way about Trump’s mentality and motives 2.0. The first lesson is that – as in the Middle East – for the president, “peace” means the absence of fighting. It appears that he is interested in the ceasefire, which takes pictures of US TV screens and saves the United States from the costly military support. But it is less interested in finding a permanent solution that prevents the return of war.

Second, Trump is driven to seek economic gains. His approach is also severely affected by personal feelings. It is clear that he is holding a grudge against Zelenskyy, after Trump has efforts for 2019 to the strong Ukraine leader in launching an investigation into the activities of Hunter Biden in Ukraine for American aid, which led to Trump’s first frustration.

However, it maintains a baffled admiration for Vladimir Putin, whose language in Ukraine has been greatly built by Trump’s struggle. It seems that his indulgence to the Russian leader is linked to the semi -nineteenth view of the world that global affairs must be directed by multilateral institutions, but by a handful of great powers and their strong leaders, each of which has a field of influence.

Zelinski lacks the diplomatic talent of Emmanuel Macron and Kiir Starmer, European leaders who managed to build some relationship with Trump on successful visits this week. But Zelinski seems to have been exposed to an ambush by the White House, which ended. Three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, his struggle entered to secure the country’s sovereignty to its most dangerous stage.
