Trump changes his attitude to Zelensky within 48 hours
The long tense relationship between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counter href = "https://www.cnn.com/2025/15/europe/zelensky-trump-tutin-ukraine-russia-peace-talks-intex.html"> Volodymyr Zelensky experienced another low on Wednesday. A central question that both friends and supporters of both politicians were concerned with was whether this conflict would destroy the hope of a peace conveyed by the United States or could possibly even be beneficial.
Trump attacks Zelensky
In an angry post on his social media platform, Trump referred to Trump Zelensky as a "dictator without elections" and accused him of blackmailing the USA to spend hundreds of billions of dollars "for a war that could not be won". This led to a one -day exchange of blows, which Trump reinforced in a speech in Miami on Wednesday evening, where he said: "Zelensky should act faster. He will no longer have a country left." These accusations reflected Moscow's own ironic points of view of the war, especially through the Ukrainian President, who announced war law at the beginning of the Russian invasion and prevented the elections.
Trump's critical attitude towards Zelensky
Trump's post was anything but an isolated attack. He has been skeptical about Zelensky for years, questioned his decisions and urged him to investigate an investigation against his then rival Joe Biden during his first office. Trump now links his criticism of bidges and Zelensky and indicated on Wednesday evening that the Ukrainian president "benefited" from US aid during the bidding government. "If they had had the (bid) administration for another year," said Trump, "they would be in the Third World War and that will not happen now."
Zelensky's reaction to Trump's attacks
Lately, However, Trump's consultant Zelensky's public statements-in particular his criticism of Ukraine's exclusion from Ukraine's exclusion with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia-have kept an eye on it. Her frustration had grown before Wednesday, but culminated when Zelensky said to reporters in Kiev, Trump lived in a "Disinformation network". Trump indicated privately that he wanted to answer directly, which led to his provocative contribution to Truth Social, which he published on the way to his golf club in Miami.
The geopolitical implications
Trump seems to appear as a sharpener and has announced that it wants to re -evaluate the relationship with Russia. Against the background, this happens that he is urging the conflict with Ukraine, which he considers as catastrophically poorly administered. At the same time, Trump's advisor demands a political solution and believe that this process goes beyond the submission of impulsive public explanations. "Trump apparently positions himself for negotiations with Putin," said a Republican senator.
The role of Europe in the search for peace
Some Trump consultants see his latest statements a strategy to make Europe pay more for the defense of Ukraine. A Trump confidant noticed that the "method behind the madness" serves to motivate European countries to increase their military expenses. After all, Denmark has announced that it would increase his armaments investments. This is also supported by other European leaders, such as the French President Emmanuel Macron, that emphasized that Russia is an existential threat.
Trump as a supposed peace broker
Trump is increasingly presenting itself as a potential peace pente, regardless of the geopolitical reactions. "We successfully negotiate about the end of the war with Russia, something that is only able to achieve Trump," he said repeatedly on Wednesday evening and spoke in the third person. However, it remains unclear how he wants to bridge his political differences with Zelensky to ensure a consensual conclusion of the conflict.
