Although the U.S. government has been supporting Ukraine, Zelensky is obviously worried. In order to find out more, Zelensky recently had a direct phone call with Trump and obtained a promise.
According to reports, former US President Trump recently held a phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. During the phone call, Trump claimed to be the next president of the United States and said that if he returns to the White House, he will end the war between Ukraine and Russia and bring peace to the world.
In fact, Trump has previously believed that the Russia-Ukraine conflict can be avoided. Trump once said that if he were the current president of the United States, Russia's "attack" on Ukraine would never happen. The reason Trump is so confident is because he has a good relationship with Russia.
Trump’s foreign policy is different from that of recent U.S. presidents. Generally speaking, the U.S. government regards Russia as its biggest opponent and suppresses Russia in all aspects. While Trump is suppressing it, he is also holding dialogue with the Russian government.
When Trump first became president, he held many talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin also invited Trump to visit Russia and attend the military parade commemorating the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Although it didn't come true in the end, it also reflected that the relationship between the two was pretty good.
Even Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov admitted that Trump is willing to talk to Russia, which is a positive factor. According to reports, Trump is ready to hold consultations with Putin on resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict without an intermediary.
Objectively speaking, if Trump can really succeed in mediation, it will definitely be a good thing. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for more than two years, causing a large number of casualties to both Russia and Ukraine. The war is still ongoing. spread.
html On July 8, an explosion occurred at the Children's Hospital in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, killing 2 people and injuring 32 others. Zelensky later issued a document condemning Russia and demanding that the Russian military bear full responsibility. However, Russia believed that the explosion was caused by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile.It can be seen from here that the targets of Russia and Ukraine are not limited to military facilities, but also civilian buildings. If the fighting continues, there will definitely be a large-scale humanitarian crisis, so Russia and Ukraine should cease fire as soon as possible.
Russia and Ukraine have held peace talks, but they have not achieved much results. At present, the biggest disagreement between the two sides is that the conditions for the ceasefire are different. Zelensky has proposed four conditions: one is that Russian troops withdraw from the border line before the conflict broke out, the other is to allow Ukraine to join the EU, the third is to allow Ukrainian refugees to return home, and the fourth is to pursue accountability Russian military's war responsibility.
Because Ukraine is now on the defensive side, and some areas in eastern Ukraine have been occupied by the Russian army, Zelensky hopes that Russia will withdraw its troops from these places first, and then the Ukrainian army can regain the lost territory. In this way, he can also give an explanation to the domestic people. .
However, Russia has no plans in this regard. After all, this is the land laid down by the Russian army. Therefore, before Trump mediates, he must first resolve these issues and find a solution that satisfies both Russia and Ukraine. In addition, Trump also needs to find ways to convince the U.S. arms groups.
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has always been a weapons supplier to the Ukrainian army. On July 2, the Pentagon stated that the United States will provide an additional US$2.3 billion in military aid to Ukraine. The current US military aid to Ukraine has reached US$53.5 billion. These The money eventually flowed into the pockets of American arms dealers.
As long as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not over, American arms dealers will continue to reap benefits. Arms dealers are an important group in the United States. They often provide donations to American politicians in exchange for political support. Many American presidents dare not offend them.
So even if Trump wants to mediate the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it will not go so smoothly. Moreover, Trump is not guaranteed to win now. Polls show that Trump’s approval rate is 46% and Biden’s is 45%. There is not much difference between the two sides. Everything will have to wait until the US election is over.
It is expected that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will continue for some time in the future. Ukraine is very anxious. According to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, they are currently surrounded by 500,000 Russian troops. In order to fight against the Russian army, Ukraine can only pin its hopes on the West.
Compared with Russia, Ukraine is in a very passive situation. If the West suspends aid one day, the Ukrainian army may lose the war, so Zelensky should still negotiate with Russia as soon as possible.
