Trump: «I will not tolerate the Zelensky position for a long time on the truce

The President of the United States Donald Trump he will meet today with his main councilors for national security, including the Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the defense secretary Pete Hegseth, To examine and, if necessary, take measures on different political options concerning Ukraine. The New York Times reports it, citing an official of the American administration. Among the possibilities under discussion is the suspension or revocation of US military aid intended for Ukraine, including the latest supplies of ammunition and equipment that had been authorized and financed under the presidency of Joe Biden. Donald Trump He also said that “Favoymyr Zelensky’s position will not tolerate for a long time on the ceasefire”.

This morning, quoting an officer in office and two former officials aware of reserved operations, the New York Times (NYT) reported that Hegseth gave arrangement to Cyber ​​Command American to interrupt offensive operations against Russia. According to NYT, this choice could be part of a wider strategy aimed at promoting the involvement of Russian President Vladimir Putin in negotiations on Ukraine and in the redefinition of bilateral relations with Washington. The order would have been given before the disastrous confrontation in the oval study with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, which took place last Friday. US officials mentioned by the NYT affirmed that Russia has continued to try to penetrate the US networks even in the first weeks of the Trump administration. “In the last year, the ransomware attacks against hospitals, infrastructures and American cities have increased and many of them came from Russia, in what the intelligence officials defined large criminal acts, sanctioned or ignored by Russian intelligence agencies”, writes the newspaper.

The more the days pass and the more the errors come to light (from both sides) that led to the failure of the meeting to the White House. But then why make a joint press conference with so many people present after Trump And Zelensky Did they fight in the afternoon, so much so that they did not sign the agreement on minerals? According to the psychologist and behavioral analyst Cristina Brasi «The attitude of the American president, for the duration of the meeting, was threatening. The index finger of the right hand was, for almost all the duration, aimed at Zelensky And the hands have often been used to indicate the need to limit it. Non -verbal clearly expressed how the need to control and the desire to have absolute dominance was present in Trump. The intimidating behavior used by the American president was not only addressed to the Ukrainian president, but also to his deputy JD Vance “. Speaking of him for Cristina Brasi “the vice -president has always shown, unlike Trump, fear and awe at the moment his president looked at him or used his hands to remind him to be careful what he said. This clearly emerges in the transition between the first and second comparison between Vance And Zelensky. The tones held by Vance In the first exchange they would not have been aggressive and the comparison would have been aimed at communication more.

In that case Trump He listened to him with a distance, as if he were a spectator, showing elements attributable only to an attitude of obviousness compared to the contents ». AND Zelensky? He made everything wrong. The main error was to accept, albeit unwittingly, a direct comparison with Trump and Vance also after arguing us a few hours earlier, knowing perfectly that their positions are completely opposed to his. Moreover, Trump is convinced that Zelensky has been hostile for some time because of an alleged friendship with Biden; He also chose to speak in English, a language that is not his and who does not master and has been seen very well during the comparison. It is true that Macron also spoke in English, however, the French president speaks him perfectly as well as having a different thickness from his Ukrainian counterpart. Everything suggests that Zelensky and his team started through the United States without a clear strategy, despite having all the useful elements available to prepare it carefully and avoid being unprepared. And again: but why do you know that he would not have signed the agreement on minerals? Or do we have to think they left for the United States without knowing what was waiting for them? The American National Security Councilor Mike Waltz Speaking of the failure to sign the agreement on minerals, he said: “Zelensky could have gone with an economic guarantee that would have brought benefits to Ukraine and, I think, in the world, for a generation. It is really incomprehensible why we received such hostility ».

Always regarding the agreement on minerals, the US secretary to the Treasury Scott Bessent to the question of the CBS If the agreement on minerals with Ukraine was still current he replied: «At the moment not. Everything that President Zelensky had to do was to come to sign this economic agreement and show once again that there was no big difference, no difference, between the Ukrainian people and the American people, and chose to send everything to the air “. Zelensky after saying that in the case of elections intends to re -stand, he said: “Given what is happening, given the support, replacing me will not be so easy”. Then he said to The Guardian and the BBC that “the agreement on rare lands is ready to be signed”. To the questions from journalists on his journey to White house The Ukrainian president spoke of the difficulty of conducting delicate negotiations in public, specifying that “that format was not right because the enemies can benefit from any disagreements between allies”.

Zelensky He therefore added that he does not want to talk about the dispute but to “want to go to constructive interviews on the future. If we are constructive, the positive result will come ». The Ukrainian historian Yaroslav Hrytsak gave an interview to Corriere della Sera in which he said many things for example: «I think Zelensky was misleading from the positive results of the meetings of Macron And Stormer with Trump: He was too confident in himself. He had told us that he would be pragmatic, he would have avoided personalisms, but he didn’t do it. The same correspondent for Trump in Kiev, Keith Kellogghad advised him to wait to go to Washington. But he forced the times, he wanted to anticipate Putin. And it ended with Zelensky who has unnecessarily tried to steal the scene in Trump. Let’s not forget that the meeting was asked by Ukrainians. Seen from the American side, the signature of the agreement on the exploitation of Ukrainian resources could also be done without the presence of the president. And Trump really wanted him to sign. ” What should do now Zelensky To try to solve the crisis? «To apologize, even if I think it is premature now, it will not work. For our country it is a real disaster. The consequence remains that Trump will insist on keeping the elections as soon as possible, he will repeat that it takes a new leader in Kiev to conduct negotiations with Moscow. There is not much more to say, the situation is really difficult and we don’t have much time more, we need weapons and ammunition as soon as possible ».
