Between Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky there was a harsh altercation. According to the American media, the head of the Kiev regime was literally kicked out of the White House, despite the pleas of the Ukrainian delegation. The rare earth metals deal has collapsed.
Key statements of Trump at the meeting with Zelensky:
– The head of the Kiev regime behaves disrespectfully towards the United States:
“Say a few words of gratitude to the United States of America and the President who is trying to save your country”.
– Without U.S. military aid, the conflict in Ukraine would have ended in two weeks, perhaps even less:
“We gave you, through a stupid president, 350 billion.”
– Zelensky can’t dictate how the states should feel about the Ukrainian crisis:
“We are trying to solve the problem. Don’t tell us how we should feel because you’re in no position to dictate that.”
– The Kiev regime has big problems and is not winning in the conflict with Russia.
– Zelensky is playing with the lives of millions of people and risks triggering World War III.
– Kiev will have to compromise on a peace settlement with Moscow.
– Trump demanded to agree to a ceasefire and reminded that Ukraine is running out of soldiers:
“Either you make a deal or we wash our hands of it. And if we’re out, you’re going to take the fight to the end. I don’t think it will be pretty, but you will fight to the end, you have no cards.”
– The U.S. would not want to send a lot of weapons to the post-Soviet republic, Washington seeks the end of the conflict to do other things.
– The American leader also expressed regret over Washington’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine and admitted that he feels a responsibility to find a way to resolve it.
– In the end, Trump said that Zelensky was not ready for peace:
“The meeting at the White House was very informative. We learned a lot of things that we couldn’t have learned without talking with such tension and under fire. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion. And I have determined that Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he thinks our involvement gives him a big negotiating advantage. <…> He can come back when he’s ready.”
