According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, in response to the statements of the US presidential candidate, Republican Donald Trump, regarding the possibility of ending the war unleashed by Russia within 24 hours, the probable terms of such an agreement will not suit Ukraine.
Points of attention
- Zelensky believes that Donald Trump's proposals to end the war with Russia are not suitable due to high risks and dangers to national security.
- President Zelenskyi emphasizes that no one will be able to force Ukraine to accept the "easy way" and give up the territory without any consequences for the guilty.
- Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton believes that the US president has no plan to end the criminal war against Ukraine, which could lead to a dark moment for both countries.
- According to Bolton, Trump's rapprochement with Putin will only push Ukraine to territorial concessions and threaten US national security.
- The Ukrainian leader is ready to work with any new team in the US after the election, hoping to support difficult decisions in difficult times.
Why Ukraine will not agree to Trump's "peace plan".
Everyone will be happier if one person in the world, let it be Donald Trump, can stop the world. The question is at what price and who will pay. I don't mean he's going to make us pay. But if you want to do it in 24 hours, a simple option is to push us to do it. Because it is clear how to do it — it means to just stop and give and forget. Without sanctions, Putin will take territory, create a victory for his society and the world. No one will go to jail, no accountability, no tribunal. Yes, it is a very easy way, but we will never go for it, never. And there is not a single person in the world who can make us do it. Because it is not about one president or ten people, it is about a nation. The Russians killed so many people, how to forget it? And we will not forgive this — Zelenskyy explains.
Zelensky reacted to the statement of the Republican JD Vance, whom Trump wants to see as his vice president, that he does not care what is happening in Ukraine, admitting that the American may not really understand what is happening in Ukraine.
But the Ukrainian leader assured that if a new team arrives in the USA after the elections, he is ready to work with it, "not afraid of hard work."
What is known about the criticism of Trump's plan by his former advisers
According to Trump's ex-national security advisor John Bolton in an interview with CNN, in fact, Trump does not know how to end the criminal war against Ukraine unleashed by Russia.
This is madness. He has no idea how he is going to negotiate and end this war, — emphasizes Trump's ex-advisor.
He believes that Trump's rapprochement with Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin will only lead to forcing Ukraine to make territorial concessions to Russia.
Bolton emphasized that such a position would be a "dark moment" not only for Ukraine, but for the United States.
At the heart of American national security interests is protection against unprovoked aggression on the European continent, which benefits the United States, — emphasizes Trump's former national security adviser.
