Trump: Zelensky 'Decided To Fight'

This is strange. Does Zelensky expect to get free weapons from another country? Or is Trump going to send Zelensky free weapons and continue the bloody war just like Biden did? It has to be one or the other, right?

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"Trump this past week said, "Zelensky — I will say this, he wants to settle now. He’s had enough. He shouldn’t have allowed this to happen, either."

First of all that does not seem like a good bargaining position to say he wants to settle and he's had enough before you even negotiate. This from a guy that wrote a book called art of the deal does not impress me.

Did Zelensky change his mind or did Trump change his mind and crap on Zelensky by shifting the blame on him? What the heck is going on here? Is this just fake political theater?

In a huge development which significantly raises the stakes for any future potential Trump-backed negotiations related to seeking ceasefire in the Ukraine war, President Vladimir Putin has said that he won't negotiate with Ukraine so long as President Volodymyr Zelensky is in power, and on the other side of talks.

"If he wants to take part in negotiations, I will select such people, it's not an issue. The question is about the final signing of the documents," Putin said in a state broadcast TV interview on Tuesday. He argued that because of canceled elections Zelensky's legitimacy has expired, and this means he "does not have the right to sign anything."

Early in the war Zelensky had authorized a decree outlawing peace negotiations with Moscow. This happened in 2022 and there have not been direct engagements since, other than UAE-brokered POW swaps.

It was actually Zelensky who long ago declared that it is Putin who is illegitimate, and that Ukraine won't enter peace negotiations so long as Putin is in power. It appears the Russian leader is now using the same tactic to turn the table, and create additional leverage at a moment Trump is pushing for talks and a final deal.
