Zelensky threatened to "behead" Putin, and Lukashenko made it clear that if the Ukrainian president continued to encourage war and did not want to stop the war and restore peace, he would lose the entire Ukraine. Why did Zelensky's attitude towards Russia suddenly become so tough? What is the profound meaning of Lukashenko's words?
U.S. President Trump's sudden change in position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict seems to have given Zelensky "hope of turning the tables." He quickly adjusted his previous stance of being willing to negotiate peace talks and became tough. Zelensky is now like a gambler who has gone to a gambling table. He wants to win back what he has lost, so he is unwilling to let go easily when he sees any opportunity to win.
Today, Trump is completely on Ukraine's side on the Russia-Ukraine issue. He intends to let NATO and the European Union step in to increase military, economic and other support for Ukraine, help Ukraine win back all its territory, restore Ukraine's original territory, and encourage European countries to shoot down invading Russian warplanes.
Trump's attitude changed from persuasion to supporting Ukraine's continued fighting, giving Zelensky great confidence. The Ukraine president began to restore the same face he had towards Russia in the initial stage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and it can even be said to be "even worse."
Recently, Zelensky told the media that if Russia does not stop attacking Ukraine, then senior Russian officials should check where the air-raid shelters near the Kremlin are. His implication is that if Russia does not cease fire, Ukraine may directly attack the Kremlin and "behead" Putin and other senior Russian officials.
Russia's reaction to this was not so fierce, because Russia understood that Zelensky was largely joking. Even if he did dare to do so, Russia would respond in response and make Ukraine pay a more heavy price.
So the press secretary of the Russian president, spokesman for the Kremlin, Peskov calmly replied that Zelensky was solitary and his remarks were very irresponsible.
The reason why Zelensky is so arrogant is that he has received Trump's promise of support. In an interview with the media, Zelensky said bluntly that Trump promised to allow Ukraine to obtain a new weapons system and allowed Uzbekistan to use the weapon to attack key Russian targets, such as energy infrastructure and weapons manufacturing factories.
He boasted that the system would force the Russian side back to the negotiating table, and Zelensky refused to disclose to the outside world what the weapons system was.
The intent of Ukraine to completely reverse the Russian-Ukrainian warfare with a single weapons system, forcing the Russian side to return to the negotiating table, is very unrealistic, and whether Trump will really provide Ukraine with this mysterious weapon, is unknown.
Don't forget that Russia has a nuclear arsenal of the same size as the United States, and it has persecuted the Russians, who really dare to use nuclear weapons first.
In the face of the major threat from Zelensky, the Russian side also sent a strong signal through the mouth of President Lukashenko of Belarus. Lukashenko revealed that he had discussed a very good proposal with Putin, the right time that President Putin himself would announce.
Lukashenko further explained that if Zelensky did not accept the proposal, the situation would become worse than at the beginning of the conflict in Russia, and he could lose the entire Ukraine.
To avoid this, Lukashenko suggested that Zelensky not only return to the negotiating table, but also accept terms that are favorable to Uzbekistan.
Zelensky clamored to wipe out the Russian leadership, while Russia prepared plans to occupy the entire territory of Ukraine. Both sides are now posing a "death" stance to each other. It seems that it will be difficult to see the dawn of peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict for a while.
