Zelensky aiming to ‘Trump-proof’ aid – The Times
Kiev is seeking commitments from the US that the Republican would not be able to reverse if elected, the newspaper has said
Ukrainian leader VladimirZelensky will request NATO-type security guarantees for Kiev and other irreversible commitments when he meets US President Joe Biden this week, The Times reported on Sunday.
Zelensky will also seek endorsement for Ukraine’s ongoing incursion into Russia’sKursk Region and access to “specific” advanced Western weapons to be used against Russia, the British newspaper claimed.
Each point is reportedly part of what Zelensky has termed a ‘victory plan’ in the conflict with Moscow. =His aim is to increase the pressure on Russia to the extent that it is coerced into signing a peace agreement on Ukrainian terms==, The Times explained, citing its analysis of public remarks and several anonymous sources.
Zelensky has publicly stated that his plan would allow the conflict to end this year, although The Times claims it would take at least two more years to implement.The key issue for Kiev is preventing Donald Trump from reversing commitments to Ukraine, should he be reelected as US president in November, the newspaper added.
The Republican nominee and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, have suggested that their administration would force Kiev to make painful concessions in order to end the hostilities.
However, the idea that Ukraine would not achieve a full victory over Russia is “awful” and “unacceptable,” Zelenskytold the New Yorker magazine ahead of his trip to the US this week. The Ukrainian leader has promised to brief Trump and his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Haris, on his ‘victory plan’.
Prior to Kiev’s incursion into Kursk last month, Russian President VladimirPutin offered an immediate ceasefire in return for Zelensky renouncing Ukraine’s bid to join NATO and removing all troopsfrom Russian territory.
Officials inMoscow have said they would accept a peace deal along the lines that the two nations agreed in 2022, before Kiev made a U-turnand opted to seek a military victory, reportedly after being prompted by the West.
A NATO diplomat told The Times =it is “clear that the Ukrainians will not be able to drive the Russians out==,” although accepting neutral status and ceding territories “would be a disastrous outcome” that “can definitely not be the basis of the negotiation.”
Moscow has said it will not take part in a ‘peace summit’ proposed by Zelensky for later this year, describing it as “fraudulent.”
(This little shit wants to sabotage Trump and take his power as President away.This will not end well for Zelensky.Only the real president can give the ok, and Bidan is not capable to make a decision like this. Therefore Trump will override it because its illegal, every order Bidan gave or raising the debt limit will be reversed, nothing was legal he did because he made none of the decisions.)
