Recently, Trump’s eldest son posted on social media, mocking Ukrainian President Zelensky that he would “lose his pocket money” in 38 days.
The “38 days later” he mentioned It is likely to refer to December 17, , which is the date when the Electoral College of each state in the United States voted to confirm the president and vice president based on the voting results on November 5. At that time, Trump's victory will be officially recognized.
For Zelensky, this ironic post is tantamount to an "ultimatum."
Trump’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict has always been clear: He has repeatedly stated that continued aid to Ukraine is a “stupid decision.” During the campaign, Trump described Zelensky as "the greatest salesman in history" because he successfully "squeezed" tens of billions of dollars in aid from the Biden administration and claimed that once he took office, he would End the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 48 hours.
Faced with this tough stance, Zelensky had previously publicly opposed Trump’s election. He not only publicly supported Harris many times, but also criticized Trump’s policies many times. However, as calls for Trump’s victory gradually increased, Zelensky quickly adjusted his position and actively showed his favor to Trump. He even took the initiative to call Trump after his victory to express his congratulations and frequently communicated about the meeting. Will. But Trump obviously did not change his policy attitude towards Ukraine.
A few days ago, Trump had a phone call with Zelensky, but during the process he handed the phone to Musk, who immediately posted on social media: "The senseless killings will soon end. The era of profit-making by warmongers is coming to an end." This statement further indicates that the new Trump administration may terminate aid to Ukraine.
In addition, Trump's senior adviser Brian Lanza also publicly stated that Trump will "focus on achieving peace in Ukraine rather than helping it recover the land occupied by Russia" after taking office, hinting at possible future An end to the conflict in exchange for a territorial compromise in Ukraine.
Trump’s tough stance on the Ukraine issue mainly stems from the following three reasons:
First, Trump’s “America First” policy. He prefers to reduce U.S. investment in overseas conflicts and control military spending. He believes that the Ukraine crisis does not directly threaten the security of the United States, so the United States should not assume the leading responsibility, but its European allies should bear more obligations.
Secondly, the three-year-old conflict between Russia and Ukraine has triggered widespread war-weariness in the United States.. A large number of Americans question the Biden administration's large-scale aid to Ukraine, believing that these expenditures are a waste of taxpayers' money.
During the campaign, Trump promised to quickly resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict after taking office, which became one of the key factors for him to win the support of voters. Once it fails to fulfill this promise, will directly damage its governing reputation and foundation of rule.
Third, Trump is trying to divide China-Russia relations. With the United States unable to provide substantial benefits to Russia, Ukraine has become the only issue that can be used as a bargaining chip.Trump may make concessions on the Russia-Ukraine conflict in exchange for improvement in Russia-US relations, in an attempt to weaken the close relationship between China and Russia.
Although Trump has not yet officially come to power, the direction of the United States and its allies has undergone subtle changes. For example, the Pentagon rejected Ukraine's request for increased missile assistance; the United Kingdom also postponed the date of providing long-range missiles to Ukraine.
For Zelensky, This means that his political career is about to end, and he is even very likely to be subject to domestic political liquidation. Why do you say that? The reason is simple.
Zelensky’s presidency is closely tied to his stance on Russia, and he has consistently cast himself as a defender of Ukraine’s sovereignty and freedom. However, some elites and people in Ukraine are dissatisfied with the country's long-term conflict. If the war fails due to the "abandonment" of the United States, Zelensky's diplomatic strategy will be regarded as a complete failure and even become a "scapegoat."
In this case, Zelensky may be liquidated and even face criminal investigation, asset seizure or political liquidation.
In short, Trump’s changes in his stance on Ukraine after he came to power will put Zelensky into an unprecedented dilemma. To resolve this crisis, Zelensky’s only choice may be to start peace talks with Russia as soon as possible to gain a chance for himself.
