On October 17, the atmosphere in the White House meeting room in Washington was so tense that water could be wrung out-Ukraine President Zelensky came here for the third time this year, thinking of getting something practical from the United States, but instead of waiting for assistance, he had a huge quarrel with Trump, and even was used to "destroy the country" in his face. It is no exaggeration to say that the scene "exploded."
To know, Zelensky came this time with a clear purpose: what he most wanted was the U.S. “Tax” cruise missiles. This thing can hit a long distance, if you get the hand, Ukraine can go through Russia deep targets, can break the impasse of the battlefield now. In addition to the missiles, he also wants the U.S. to impose “second-level sanctions” on Russia, and push the U.S.-Russian three sides to sit down and talk, so that Ukraine can also harden on the negotiating table.
But he just arrived at the White House and struck Trump's "cold face". Even worse, just the day before seeing Zelensky, Trump had just spoken to Putin for more than two hours, or the Russian side initiated a call. The two people were talking in the phone a lot of "happy", Trump said the call was "effective", Putin also spoke to him: even if the United States gave Ukraine the "tacks", will not change the situation on the battlefield, but will destroy Russian-US relations. After the conversation, Trump directly hit the board: first let U.S. Secretary of State Rubio Russia for a high-level meeting, he would go to Hungary Budapest and Putin in front of him, talk specifically how to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Waiting for a meeting with Zelensky, Trump turned his face directly. According to the information, the two people all the time quarrel, Trump's mouth dirty speech has not stopped, and a map of the Ukrainian front to the side, pointing to Zelensky said: "You must listen to Russia, give the Donbass out! otherwise Putin can destroy you the whole of Ukraine!" he also followed the re-read, repeatedly said Putin's request in the phone, completely forgot about himself last month also said "support Ukraine to take back all the territory", this attitude in turn made Zelensky and the EU both embarrassed.
Zelensky is not the same, only softly and hardly for the "Tax" missile, even saying willing to change with drones, as a result, Trump is still not lazy, said "no say no, but not say yes", is the same as kicking the ball back. More disturbingly, after the meeting, Trump did not even give Zelensky the opportunity to hold a press conference together, even let him speak alone on the White House lawn. Zelensky has no way, only on the road opposite the White House a small table, interviewed the screen - that scene, live off like an abandoned "poor little", can also see how Ukraine is now in the United States.
On October 19th, Trump spoke directly on the “Air Force One”: “Ukraine is in line with the current front, the Donbass region remains in the status quo, anyway, 78% of the land is already in Russian hands, and the withdrawal of the troops is urgent. To know that Donbass is not an ordinary place, Donetsk is still 20% in the hands of Ukraine, there are many important cities, and Ukraine has built 50 kilometers of “fortress bands” in the western part of Donetsk, battle barricades, mines are all, is an important barrier to the defense of Russia, really is to give out, not only to leave the territory, but also to trigger the tide of refugees, Ukraine is even harder.
Why is Trump so pressing Zelensky? say white or for himself. He initially thought that putting Putin and Zelensky together could end the conflict, the result is no concessions on both sides, his "fast war decision" dream broke. plus the domestic hatred of the United States is growing, the Democratic Party still wants to take the conflict to affect his election, he rushed, only to put pressure on Ukraine, forced Zelensky to compromise, at the time to blow out "I ended the conflict."
The current situation is that Zelensky does not want to cede territory, Putin does not want to let Donbas go, and Trump is caught in the middle. On the one hand, he does not dare to completely break up with Russia, and on the other hand, he has to deal with those within the party who want to fight against Russia. People can only swing left and right. Looking at it this way, Ukraine is in big trouble: it has not obtained the "Tomahawk" missile, has no confidence in negotiations, has to be forced to cede its territory, and the United States and Russia have not taken him to play when discussing matters. I am afraid it will be even more difficult in the future.
