Trump shows his unilateral Ukraine peace plan with his strange wording
The intensive pressure of President Donald Trump on Ukraine and his submissiveness towards Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, bring every remaining idea to a standstill that the United States could act as a neutral peace broker. The US efforts seem to be strongly in favor of the positions of Russia, although Moscow started the war with its unfounded invasion. This arises from Trump's view that Ukraine has no trump card in this conflict.
Trump denies personal interests
On Thursday, the President emphatically rejected that he had personal interests in conflict, and explained that his only motive was the endeavor to end a war that cost thousands of civilians. "I have no loyalty to anyone. My loyalty applies to the rescue of life, and I want to save a lot of lives, especially the young people," said Trump.
response to the escalation of violence
But the unbalanced nature of the US peace attempt is deliberately vague formulations about the conflict and in its strange, even bizarre statements about the war.
In the early Thursday morning, Russia shot the Ukraine with 70 Rakets and 145 drones , which led to one of the deadliest attacks on the capital in nine months. At least 12 people were killed and 90 others were injured, while numerous victims were enclosed among the ruins of residential buildings. The frightened residents of Kyiv were forced to return to their air -raid shelter - some took their little children and pets with them.
Trump's weak public statements
Trump's reaction to this renewed escalation of the terrorist attacks? A lapidar post in his Truth Social account, which seemed to show more about the time of the attacks than about the suffering they brought about defenseless civilians. "I am not happy about the Russian attacks on Kiev. Not necessary and very bad timing. Vladimir, stop!" wrote Trump. "Let's conclude the peace agreement!"
The President added his statement during a appearance on the same day. "I didn't like the events of the last night. I was not happy about it, we are in the middle of peace talks and rockets were fired, and I was not pleased about it," said Trump, who spoke remarkably passive and did not blame Putin.
contrast between Trump and Zelensky
Another US president might have spoken to his condolences, which would have pointed out that the targeted attack of civilians is a war crime and threatened consequences. But Trump's reaction was consistent with his many years of practice not to connect the results of terrible attacks to the guide who ordered them. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, who described Putin as a "journeyman" and "gangster" during his presidential election campaign in 2016, sat on the sofa in the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon. He took over the unclear wording of Trump, which almost gave the impression that the Russian rockets landed in Kiev by itself. "What happened to these rocket attacks last night should all remind you of why this war has to end," said Rubio. "It is terrible that these rockets are hit, but it is even worse that there were ... people who lived yesterday and no longer live today because this war continues."
Trump's distorted view of the conflict
The weak language of the government regarding Putin was contrasting to the sharp accusations towards the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in the same Oval Office in March . Trump started again this week to the Ukrainian president after Selenskyj ruled out the recognition of the annexation of Crimea by Russia. At Truth, Trump complained about “Inflammers statements like that of Selenskyj, who make it so difficult to end this war. He has nothing to be proud of! The Situation for Ukraine is dramatic - he can have peace or he can fight for three more years before losing the whole country.”
The misjudgment of the situation
Trump justified himself on Thursday, when he was asked what concessions Russia had in conflict, compared to his constant pressure on Ukraine. "Stop the war, stop taking over the whole country. A pretty big concession," said Trump. This answer reveals a strange misunderstanding about what actually happened in the war and shows how comprehensive Trump looks at the war by Putin's lens.
The reason why no pro-Russian president rules Ukraine is that the Ukrainian armed forces carried out a heroic retreat at the beginning of the war that shocked the world and saved the capital. Years of weapons and ammunition deliveries from the USA and its European allies contributed to the fact that it remained so.
"It is absolutely not a concession," explained Oleksandr Merezhko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, to CNNS Jim Sciutto in "The letter". "From my perspective, it is absolutely absurd to say something like that." Trump insisted that he was very hard to Putin - although there are hardly any signs that the Russian leader paid at any prize to ignore Trump's ceasefire plans and continue to have attacks on civilians, while the peace talks are continued with no result.
"You don't know what pressure I put on Russia," he said to a reporter. "We put Russia under considerable pressure, and Russia knows that, and some who are close to it knows that or he would not talk now." Sources that are familiar with the peace talks reported on Thursday that Trump was privately frustrated by his failure to convey the end of the war. So far, however, his impatience has not yet led to efforts to persuade Russia to accept extremely generous conditions. For example, Trump could deliver weapons to Ukraine to increase the costs of the war for the Russian armed forces. He could send patriot rocket systems to Kyiv or provide defense against ballistic rockets. The president could also impose secondary sanctions against countries that continue to buy Russian oil and finance the war.
But he didn't do all of that. His uneven approach threatens to further disadvantage the victims of the war.
