Toughened up! Ukrainian President Zelensky suddenly makes a statement regarding Trump’s preparation to facilitate Russia-Ukraine negotiations
Too tough! Ukrainian President Zelensky suddenly makes a statement regarding Trump’s preparation to facilitate Russia-Ukraine negotiations, stating that what Ukraine needs now is not listening and unfair communication. All of Ukraine's allies should be more united to give Ukraine a stronger position, and there should also be action on the diplomatic front. Moreover, Zelensky believes that even if they sit down to negotiate, Russian President Putin will only delay, as Putin's goal is to completely destroy Ukraine. From Zelensky's latest statement, it is clear that he has publicly rejected negotiations, moving from an initial acceptance of Trump’s idea of mediation. Zelensky is evidently the one who is truly unwilling to sit down for talks, and he hopes to first achieve victory in the war against Russia, continue to demand increased assistance from allies, and apply pressure on Russia from multiple diplomatic fronts. In short, such an attitude will not only prolong the Russia-Ukraine war but may even lead to fighting until the last Ukrainian, leaving both Russian and Ukrainian civilians and soldiers caught in a prolonged conflict.
