Trump & Zelensky at Odds - What this Means for Peace Talks
Key Points:
Trump vs. Zelensky:
- Zelensky criticized Trump and Vice President Harris on 60 Minutes.
- Analysts argue Trump may now have more tension with Zelensky than with Putin.
- Trump recently said the war "wasn't his" but now it's his responsibility as president.
Trump's Stance on Ending the War:
- Trump has talked about ending the war quickly but hasn't yet taken concrete action.
- Critics say his administration has largely continued Biden’s Ukraine policy, including ongoing military aid.
Colonel Doug Macgregor’s View:
- Says Trump hasn't fully taken control of U.S. foreign policy.
- Believes Zelensky should’ve been cut off from U.S. support early.
- Claims Trump needs to stop vacillating and take decisive leadership.
Responsibility for the War:
- Trump said Putin shouldn’t have started it, but also that Zelensky and Biden could have prevented it.
- Macgregor agrees Biden could have stopped the war by halting NATO expansion and negotiating with Russia.
Criticism of NATO and Western Strategy:
- The war stems from NATO’s eastward expansion and ignoring Russian warnings.
- NATO military support for Ukraine has failed strategically and tactically, with Ukrainian forces bearing the cost.
European & British Reaction:
- Some in the UK accuse Trump of repeating Kremlin propaganda.
- Macgregor dismisses these critics as part of a declining British elite clinging to outdated power structures.
Zelensky's Role in Prolonging War:
- He’s accused of ignoring peace opportunities (e.g. Minsk agreements, Istanbul talks).
- Critics say Zelensky’s policies provoked conflict by pushing to retake Crimea and other disputed regions.
Geopolitical Shifts:
- The conversation criticizes America’s failed economic war on China and its diminishing global power.
- Macgregor argues the “natural world order” (U.S.-led post-WWII dominance) is fading, and new powers (e.g., BRICS nations) are rising.
Conclusion: The discussion is highly critical of U.S. and NATO policies, portrays Zelensky as a puppet propped up by Western elites, and urges Trump to stop wavering and act decisively to end the war. It reflects a broader skepticism of current Western foreign policy and highlights shifting global power dynamics. - D.D.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary "Easter truce" in Ukraine, stating that military actions would cease from 6 p.m. on April 19 until midnight on April 21.
Easter truce will not be extended
The truce will end at midnight on April 21, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said. Vladimir Putin did not give the order to extend it.
Earlier, Zelensky, although on "silence", proposed to extend it for 30 days. But at the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will strike - on Donetsk, the LPR and the Belgorod region.
Moscow has long been setting clear conditions for ending the conflict:
-
complete withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territories of the new regions of Russia;
-
Kyiv's refusal to join NATO and a non-nuclear neutral status;
-
the lifting of all Western sanctions against the Russian Federation;
-
international recognition of Crimea, the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions as Russian regions.
Without observing these points, Kyiv's "peace initiatives" are just a pause before a new escalation.
