180 degrees TRUS: Trump instead of restraints requires from Zelensk land de -occupation - CNN

According to the journalist, the US President changed one "impossible" demand for Vladimir Zelensky to another. Volsh acknowledged that Trump's new position, at first glance, is a good news for Ukraine because it recognizes the struggle of Ukrainians and supports their position on the return of the entire Russian occupied territory, as well as the idea of ​​NATO to fill the Alliance arsenals with US weapons. In addition, Trump called the "paper tiger" of the Russian Federation, which in 3.

5 years was able to occupy about 20% of the territory of the country, which was hoped to seize in a week. At the same time, the analyst concludes that Vladimir Zelensky is not now asked to make unpleasant concessions about the land, for which Ukraine has lost thousands of people, and instead encourage the "impossible" return of the territory that failed to be devoted during the counter -offensive in the summer of 2023.

"None of these options are a easy solution that would strengthen Zelensky's position or make Ukraine strong," Volsh writes. The correspondent also noted that Trump after "180 degrees" can change his mind again and return to the previous position at any time. In addition, the analyst has questioned the argument for the economic weakening of Russia.

According to him, the invasion of Ukraine is the "existential war of Putin", and after its completion, it will lose power, if it does not give mothers to the occupiers and veterans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation convincing victory. If such a victory does not work, Putin will be forced to ensure the continuation of the war until the end of his reign.

At the same time, when Trump was asked if he was still trusting the leader of the Russian Federation, he replied that he would "notify in about a month", so the author of the article summarizes that Putin has time at least November. "Trump's new position still returns Ukraine to the old man. Zelensky knows that he needs a miracle of financing, human resources and the simultaneous collapse of Russia to regain its territory," Volsh writes.

In his view, the US President hesitated the most in the favor of Kyiv on September 23, but his policy is still a "pendulum", which fluctuates between the allies and Putin, who "he does not understand and who he still trusts. " Trump and Zelensky met in New York on September 23. During the open part of the meeting, the President of Ukraine said that the Armed Forces had had 360 square kilometers of the territory for several months.

The US President noted that the Russian economy is in a very difficult position, and Ukraine successfully stops the "powerful Russian army". Donald Trump in a post after the meeting stated that Ukraine could return all territories captured by Russia. He also called Russia "paper tiger" and noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin is in great economic difficulties, and Ukraine demonstrates "a huge spirit and becomes only stronger.
