The difficult options faced by Zelensky from Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is in a link.

After the disastrous meeting last Friday at the Oval office, it does not seem that he does not go well with President Donald Trump. And now the United States has suspended help to Ukraine, its options seem more and more thin.

Even a former Republican ally near the United States, Senator Lindsey Graham, has turned against him, suggesting that “he needs to give up and send someone we can do business with, or who needs to change.”

What exchange rate could that be, or should I give up if that is the price of the support of us?

This option seems to be very likely that Zelensky was and the Prime Minister of Ukraine now says that Kyiv is open to conversations about the signing of a mineral agreement with the United States.

Trump told Zelensky to close to Friday that he was not in a very good position: “You do not have the cards at this time, with us we begin to have cards.”

Zelensky had been ready to sign the treatment of minerals with Trump on Friday before they told him to leave the White House.

That particular card seems to have remained on the table, and Monday night, the main assistant of Zelensky, Andriy Yermak, said he was working on Republican congressman Brian Fitzpatrick and the agreement was “crucial for our two countries.”

But clearly the Trump administration is waiting for more.

Zelensky cannot afford to be humiliated in an abject apology. After three years of Russian bombing, the Ukrainians are not humorous for capitulation.

But I would have to find a enough form of words to appease Trump.

It could also have to accept fire in Trump’s terms, even if you still think peace is “very, far away.”

Would the treatment mean a resumption of help and to what extent? Certainly, that is a priority for Kyiv.

The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament, Oleksandr Merezhko, says that suspending US help is dangerous for Ukraine’s ability to defend their own civilians.

Falling on your sword is not something that Zelensky can or can consider.

Trump has called it so much not chosen and a dictator, echoing the Russian propaganda narrative of Vladimir Putin since the beginning of the war.

Zelensky said Sunday night that it seemed “a little antidemocratic” so that the Ukrainians would be told who should be their president.

After all, he is the chosen leader of Ukraine, and although his term was destined to end last year, he is still president under martial law, which entered his place precisely due to Putin’s Russian invasion.

It would be a great result for Putin, who has tried to replace Zelensky since the beginning of the war and will not even talk directly to him “due to his illegitimacy.”

But the only way Zelensky would consider that it would be in exchange for the NATO membership for Ukraine, and Trump has said that he should forget that.

Several Ukrainian figures made clear on Tuesday that would resist during the time that is necessary without American help, but some reports suggest that the United States pause has stopped missiles and the air defense artillery of critical aerial importance.

Ukrainian deputy Fedir Venislavskyi told local media that they could last about six months, but only the United States could provide them with air defense systems and long -range multiple rocket systems.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that Ukraine is already producing approximately one third of the weapons he needs, and his goal was 50%.

So, could Zelensky trust European allies instead?

The European nations have collectively paid substantially more than the US. In Aid to Ukraine, and the head of the Executive Commission of the European Union, Ursula Von is read, has announced plans to reinforce the defense capacity of Europe.

She is proposing up to 800 billion euros in defense funds, some of which would also help Ukraine.

But the EU and the United Kingdom insist that the security guarantees of the United States are vital in the case of high fire, even if in the words of Sir Keir Starmer “it is correct for Europe to do heavy work.”

Denis Shmyhal himself describes the concrete guarantees of the United States as “existentially important” for Ukraine and the entire continent.
