It took Trump eight months to finally see the true face of Russia clearly, turned around and announced that Ukraine had a way to recapture all the lost territory?
Combined with various media reports from Russian satellite news agencies, Global Networks and others, Zelensky arrived on September 23 with one of his best news in three years – Trump said “Ukraine has a chance to reclaim all the lost land.”
On September 23, Trump posted on his personal social media platform that “Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is hopeful to win back all of Ukraine and restore its status quo.”
When Zelensky shared his excitement with Trump, he told the media it was a major shift, and Trump’s post was a major shift.”
It was very exciting to see Zelensky come out, because this was the most exciting word Zelensky had heard in three years, as a president of a country, which, during his tenure, had a conflict with its largest neighbors, which lasted for three years, and lost numerous territories, which made him feel more pressured.
During this time, he has received joint sanctions on Russia by former US President Biden and the European Union, and has also been threatened by current President Trump to pressure Ukraine to abandon the territory.
But neither Biden nor the European Union, nor Trump before, had ever thought that one day Ukraine would reclaim these lost territories, and now that Trump has finally said this, he is not excited.
According to Trump, as long as the EU supports it, Ukraine has a chance to take back the lost land, then how should the EU support Ukraine?
He said that Europe is unable to "combat Russia" and continues to buy its energy "is shameful", adding that "China and India have become the main sponsor of the Ukrainian conflict because of economic cooperation with Russia."
This is basically an old bullet, and Trump’s intention is clear: First, Europe should no longer buy Russian energy; second, Europe should join the United States in imposing sanctions on China and India.
But Trump has said this countless times. Europe really dares to put pressure on China long ago, and does Trump need to urge it? China doesn't know how many times it has said, "China is not the maker of the Ukrainian crisis, let alone a party, but China has not watched the fire from the other side, let alone took the opportunity to make profits. From the second day of the crisis, China hopes to resolve it through dialogue and consultation."
China is resolutely opposed to engaging with China's words and resolutely opposed to imposing the so-called "Chinese" on China.The Trump administration's move is undoubtedly lending others' hands for its own profits, and China will never promise.
To say why Trump suddenly turned back in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is actually traceable. A Trump post explains the logic behind all of this.
He wrote that Russia had fought three and a half years without purpose, and that if it used real military force, it would end in a week.
Trump’s words are clear, Russia has not used real military force, their fighting is pointless, and Russia is now a “paper tiger.”
This is a question that Trump took eight months to figure out, most importantly, he saw that there was no clear purpose for Russia in this battle, and it is true that the fighting objective Russia claims to the outside world is to protect the “Donetsk People’s Republic” and the “Lugansk People’s Republic”.
However, according to the current advancement of the Russian army on the Russian conflict field, not only are Donetsk and Lugansk occupied by the Russian army, but also areas such as Zaporizhia, Kharkov, Helsinki are actually occupied by the Russian army.
Therefore, I'm afraid what Russia's real combat goal against Ukraine is really not what they say. At least judging from the direction of the Russian army's offensive, Russia currently wants to turn Ukraine into a landlocked country.
So what if Trump says that Ukraine can reclaim all the lost land? or if Putin’s military objectives for Ukraine can be achieved?
China has called in public more than once recently to prevent the Russia-Ukraine conflict from spilling over. It seems that Trump has not only failed to stop the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the past eight months, but has also intensified the conflict.
