Disappointing to see.
Zelenskyy asked a crucial question: What happens if Putin breaks his word and doesn’t honor the deal? Over the past few days, Trump has consistently dodged giving a proper answer. Instead, he keeps insisting that he doesn’t believe Putin will break the deal—but that’s hardly reassuring. Zelenskyy needs something far more concrete, especially after previous security guarantees amounted to nothing.
Trump often points out that Putin didn’t invade Ukraine during Trumps first term, implying that this means Putin wouldn’t attack during a second term either. But even if you give Trump the benefit of the doubt on that, he’ll be gone in four years. Then what? Does Putin just wait and attack again?
For Trump to sit there and tell Zelenskyy he should be grateful is mind-boggling. I’m sure Zelenskyy appreciates the support from the American people and the previous administration, but without solid security guarantees the current so-called "peace deal" strikes me as an attempt to strip Ukraine of its wealth under the guise of peace. Trump essentially told Zelenskyy to accept the deal—or else the U.S. is pulling out. Zelenskyy is supposed to be grateful for that?! So much for the leader of the free world.
