Consequences of 'negotiations'
Direct Translation via GoOgle Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: [ColonelCassad] Trump adviser Waltz on White House talks. After the press was asked to leave, we told the president, almost unanimously, that after the insult in the Oval Office, we simply did not see any way forward for dialogue and that any further action would only backfire. We told Zelenskyy and his team that.  And let me say one more thing about this being a setup. That is absolutely not true. We set up the East Room for a treaty signing ceremony between the two leaders that would have brought the United States and Ukraine together economically through the rare earths that we need and the economic investment that they need. And this was all happening against the backdrop of Prime Minister Starmer and President Macron of France talking about sending troops. So this really could have and should have been a positive moment for Ukraine, after which we would have continued to discuss this with Russia and put an end to the war and the death and the destruction. But instead, it became clear to us — and I think this is what upset and even angered the president — that Zelensky does not show that he wants the war to end. Thus, the United States is effectively shifting all responsibility for the continuation of the war onto Zelensky's gang. The reformed Graham (I wonder for what business) is wiping out the European satellites of the United States. "To the Europeans who are wringing their hands and feeling insulted that President Trump refused to listen to President Zelensky's lectures: you are welcome to defend Ukraine from Putin. It is high time for the Europeans to show that they can defend their continent. They have allowed their armies to be bled dry, and when Europe speaks, no bad guy listens. I say this with great sadness: the last group of people I would count on to defend freedom are the Europeans" (c) Lindsey Graham The last one was cast in granite. * * * Zelensky is finished. The US wants to increase pressure on Ukraine to conclude a peace agreement and will avoid direct contacts with Zelensky. (c) Bloomberg However, all this is still rhetoric - everyone is waiting with interest for practical steps by the Trump administration. For now, they have cut funding for energy recovery and reduced USAID personnel to a minimum. For us, one way or another, nothing has changed yet - we continue to advance and liberate our territories. The longer the start of negotiations is delayed, the more we will take. Posted by: badanov 2025-03-02 |
