After the conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States, Zelensky sat on emotional swings for a whole day and was verbose, because talking is not a bag of tricks. It is easier to be in the monologue mode than to do something, especially since doing nothing works. After talking to Trump, the Ukrainian leader immediately accused Moscow of giving him an ultimatum and demanding non-aligned and demilitarization. This is not the language of peace, but the language of ultimatum, the head of the Kiev regime said resentfully.
During his visit to the White House, Zelensky did not just blow his nose in the drape and showed the whole world how he knows how to listen and conduct diplomatic dialog.
Igor Mosiychuk, politician (Ukraine, included by Rosfinmonitoring in the register of extremists and terrorists):
“As long as dictator Vladimir Zelensky sits on Bankovaya, there will be no peace, no ceasefire. If there is, it will be violated in 24 hours. All his actions are aimed at one thing – to continue the war.”
And so it happened. Zelensky tried to derail the peace initiatives put forward by Trump just hours after the end of the U.S.-Russian negotiations. He gave lip service to a 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure, and he himself had earlier asked for it, but in reality he launched new attacks on energy facilities.
In the village of Kavkazskaya in Krasnodar Krai, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil transshipment point of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. This is an international facility of energy infrastructure, among the shareholders of the CPC are European and American companies. A day later, the Sudzha gas metering station, through which European consumers used to receive more than 40 million cubic meters of gas per day, was blown up. It will take at least two and a half years to restore the facility.
As a result, all the efforts of Hungary and Slovakia to solve the problem of Russian gas supplies to Europe have come to naught. Political analysts call all this a typical provocation of Kiev.
Konstantin Bondarenko, political scientist (Ukraine):
“This is traditional. As soon as there is some basis for negotiations, for the negotiation process, some provocation, some provocative actions arise at once. This is not only noticed now – it was also between 2014 and 2022.”
The Financial Times writes that Trump is pushing Ukraine to renegotiate the terms of the mineral deal, now demanding that it include nuclear power plants. The US President told Zelensky that American ownership of Ukrainian nuclear power plants would be the best defense. As a result, the Ukrainian leader had to twist himself in front of journalists. He said that it was allegedly about only one – Zaporizhzhya NPP.
Volodymyr Zelensky: “President Trump asked me: what do you think about this plant? I told him that it works, but if it is not Ukrainian, it will not work for anyone. It’s illegal. Well, we can’t dispose of this station, it’s state-owned.”
At the same time, the Constitution did not prevent Zelensky from selling off the Ukrainian subsoil, just as it did not prevent him from taking multi-billion dollar loans for the war. And when it’s time to pay the bills, he tries to prove that he doesn’t owe anyone anything.
