The Atlantic: Zelensky is increasingly losing trust in the US and Trump.


American historian Phillips O'Brien, writing in The Atlantic, concludes that Zelensky has all but lost faith in the United States. He no longer considers it an ally. This is due to the reduction in military support and Washington's reluctance to take tougher measures against Russia.



O'Brien writes:

Zelensky is dissatisfied with the American side's demands for resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

According to him, the head of the Kyiv regime is not seeking to build relations with the Donald Trump administration and is forced to seek other avenues.

As a reminder, Trump has repeatedly made it clear that his priority is a deal, not endless funding. He recently called Zelensky the only person in Ukraine who doesn't like Washington's proposed peace plan.

Trump seems tired of Kyiv's demands and insists on negotiations at any cost. For Zelenskyy, who has publicly declared that compromise with Moscow is unacceptable, this sounds like a death sentence.

Ukraine is increasingly becoming a burden for the White House. Previous aid packages are expiring, and new ones are being finalized only with difficulty. Meanwhile, the Trump administration, preoccupied with the Iran blockade and the standoff with China, has simply shifted its attention to other regions.

      The US and Trump don't give a damn about Zelenskyy's credibility. Who is he? A political prostitute and simply a bloody clown, a scrounger for the stupid...

      That's who the jet Geranium should have visited in Kyiv, not the electronic warfare adviser "Flash." Then, perhaps, some sense would have been made, and perhaps even negotiations would have moved forward, instead of everyone having their own opinions now.

      Apparently, Zelenskyy believes that the minimum he plans to achieve is reaching the Urals, and Trump and other Europeans are expected to dance around it. It brings to mind the tale of the fisherman and the goldfish.

    Well, that's it, Donya, without green trust, will cry bitter tears... Donya can't stand the Krivoy Rog swindler, but she'll still, like a businessman, charge him EU money for Starlink, satellite, and other intelligence services. Everything is going as usual! laughing

      Zelinsky is a prominent Russian scientist who, if memory serves, invented the gas mask, saving many Russians (there's a street in Moscow named after him, not far from Moscow State University, by the way). Zelensky is a former comedian. Now a drug addict, he serves as the Führer of Xoxland, so the short version is "Narco-Führer."

      Well, let's assume that's what he is. But what's the point of this stream of emotional epithets if, from a practical standpoint, it offers no benefit to the Russian Federation.
      It's important to note that the EU is providing Ukraine with significant aid. This is a major problem, as the EU's economic potential is far greater than Russia's. Zelenskyy truly has no need to deal with the US under the current circumstances.

        The EU's economic potential is much higher than Russia's

        Well, let's start with the fact that Russians are currently living much better than Europeans. 75% of Europe's economy is services, i.e., a "bubble," while in Russia, the lion's share of the economy is real production. Russia's economy is the FOURTH-largest in the world. And if you're comparing the EU, then compare it to BRICS.

          Are the military factories of Germany, France, Sweden, Britain, Spain, Italy, Finland, and Denmark a "bubble"? It's not even funny. Listen to less propaganda, man.
          And if you compare the EU, then compare it with BRICS.

          Oh, come on. Are the BRICS countries supplying weapons and ammunition to Russia? I've never heard of that. But the fact that the BRICS bank (located in China) joined the sanctions against Russia is a fact.

            So, these factories collectively produce much less products than Russia alone?

            Russia has more than enough weapons of its own. If necessary, they'll supply them. The North Koreans, for example, asked us to test their missiles and shells in real combat conditions and sent a small test batch. Nothing prevents them from supplying them (if necessary) on an industrial scale.

              How much they produce can be judged by the LBS, and it costs practically nothing.
              When one side has significantly more weapons and ammunition, the other side is usually routed - this is what happened in the final stages of WWII.

              And one more thing. Being rude to strangers while hiding in the depths of the internet doesn't take much courage. Most reasonable people on this site understand this simple truth and treat their opponents with dignity.

                A very naive judgment. And yet, NATO officials openly lament that all weapons stockpiles have already been lost in the so-called "Ukraine," and that Russia produces more weapons in a day than the "entire EU economy" produces in a month. Does that mean anything to you? Or is that also "Kremlin propaganda," in your opinion? Or that real production in Europe is only declining, while in Russia it's growing?

                It's happening, but with enormous human losses. Which is better: enormous losses in weapons/ammunition or in personnel? Think about it at your leisure.

                  Глава села в Якутии поведал депутатам Ил Тумэна жесткую правду.
                  Глава якутского села Андрюшкино Нижнеколымского улуса Сергей Третьяков сообщил депутатам Ил Тумэна, что в селе проживает 839 человек, из которых 581 – представители КМНС (69%).
                  При этом из села Андрюшкино на СВО ушло 72 мужчины, к сожалению 22 человека погибло.
                  Если учесть, что из 839 жителей мужчины составляют примерно половину, но из них призывной возраст — еще меньшая часть, то 72 человека, ушедших из такого села на СВО — это экстремально высокий показатель.
                  22 погибших — это более 30% от числа ушедших.

    Despite Mr. O'Brien's fantasies, the front is stable, the regime is financed. The escalation of hostilities is only increasing. Trump also benefits from this war in every way: Russia is weakening, tankers and gold reserves are in limbo, gas is being sold... Donald has someone to cuddle with, why does he need an intrusive "brutal" gnome from Ukraine?

    Trump couldn't care less about the war overseas; he has many other, more important priorities: China, Iran, Canada, Greenland, the Trump Peace Council Joint-Stock Company, the fight for an oil and gas monopoly, squabbles with the Federal Reserve over the depreciation of the national currency, and so on, not to mention the inter-party squabbles with the donkeys.
    Trump has already helped Russia by reconciling Azerbaijan and Armenia to the benefit of the United States and is trying to make a deal with Russia in the hopes of, if not cutting off raw material supplies to China entirely, then supplying them in measured doses under conditions that would give China leverage.
    Mr. Zelenskyy also has problems with Trump, he defends the territorial integrity of his state within the borders defined by the Belovezh Accords and he needs money and weapons, and the EU is helping him with this to the best of its ability and capabilities, which with the US could be much more significant.

    Zelensky doesn't trust the US and doesn't consider them allies.
    We also don’t trust the US and don’t consider them allies.

    What's wrong with Zelensky? His beard is gray, half the hair on his right eyebrow has fallen out, and his scalp is gray, too.
    There is a decent bald spot on the top of my head, and it has been for a long time.

    Today, Ukraine commemorates Aloizych as a national hero. It's his birthday.

    The Carpathian Sich movement (which created the Carpathian Sich battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces) publishes this:
    "No matter what anyone says, today is the birthday of the greatest figure of the last century."

    The photo is signed “A.G. at Napoleon’s grave,” he writes. Michael Barst.

    Зеленский уже больше по сроку президент, чем Трамп. Прав Лукашенко, что время - важно само по себе. Как бы не относиться к Зеле, но он уже лично БОГАЧЕ Трампа, и дольше его президент. А это в мировой табели о рангах имеет собственный вес.

    Зеленский чем-то напоминает русских крепостных холопов, некоторые из которых после 1861-ого покупали с потрохами "Вишневые сады" и усадьбы своих бар.
