The extraordinary Oval Office meeting on Friday between President Donald Trump, vice -president JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodyymyr Zenskyy Rail went from the rails and left the hope of an American announced peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in question. Here are some reasons why Went wrongAnd where the efforts leave to end the war.
1. Zenskyy grabs – or does not intentionally ignore – the bitter truth: those with whom he feels the most affinity (Western globalists, the Americans left, Europeans) have little power in 2025 to help him. And those he clearly does not like or tries to embarrass (as with his Scranton, penn. campaign -like visit Only in September 2024) have the power to save him. For himself I hope that he will not be “informed” by the Obama-Clinton-Bides gang to confront Trump, since their interests are not really Ukraine as they fake.
2. Zenskyy pretends to be his agenda and ours identical. So he stays on the fact that he is fighting for us despite our two-Ocean distance that he mocks. We have many shared interests with Ukraine, but not all ways: Trump wants to “reset” and triangulate it against China with Russia. He tries to prevent a Defcon 2-like crisis from 1962 about a proxy confrontation in the vicinity of a nuclear rival. And he really wants to put an end to the flood of Stalingrad Slaughterhouse because of everyone.

3. The Europeans (and Canada) are now talking loudly about a new muscular antithesis, independent of the American promises, promises-like Europeans would require to prune their social welfare state, use Frack, use nuclear, stop the green obsession and defend their GDP in defense. The US not only pays 16% of NATO’s budget, but also tolerates asymmetrical rates that result in a trading surplus of the European Union of $ 160 billion, plays the world cup, patrolizing sea-lanes and deterrent terrorists and villains that otherwise be abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, Abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad, abroad.
4. Zenskyy needs to know that all once deal-breaking obstacles are arranged for peace. Ukraine is now better armed than most NATO countries, but will not be in NATO, and no president has Ukraine or ever the armed through the armed Donbass and the Crimea. So the only two issues are a) How far will Putin be willing to withdraw to his 2022 borders and b) How will he be deterred? The first is answered by a commercial sector/Tripwire, joint Ukrainian development of the US-US-Europa Resource Development in Eastern Ukraine, in combination with a Korea-like DMZ; The second by the fact that Putin, in contrast to his invasions from 2008 and 2014, has now killed a million and injured a Ukraine that will remain so armed.
5. What Zenskyy’s alternatives Without much American aid – wait for a return from the Democrats to the White House in four years? Hope for a sharpened Europe? Pray for a democratic house and a third-person manipulated Trump deposit? Or swallow his pride, return to the White House, sign the rare earth minerals, invite in the euros (are seriously willing to patrol a DMZ?), And hope that Trump can warn Putin as he did successfully between 2017-21, don’t dare to try again?

6. If there is a ceasefire, a commercial deal, a euro-grounds and inflow of Western companies into Ukraine, would there be elections? And if so, would Zenskyyy and his match win? And if not, would there be a successor transparent government that would reveal exactly where all Western financial aid money went?
7. Zenskyy may see a model in Netanyahu. The Biden administration was much more difficult for him than Trump is on Ukraine, suspending the arms shipments, demanding that the fire, poring for a wartime, two-fold cabinet, israël to collapse on collapse damage of no Westerners of Zenskyy. Nevertheless, Netanyahu managed a hostile president Biden, kept Israel close to his patron and, while visiting, was merciful to his host. Netanyahu would certainly never have interrupted the global media before and have condemned a host and pattern president in the White House.
8. If Ukraine has alienated the US, what is his strategic victory plan? Wait for more euros? A always reinforced Russian army? Give more territory? What exactly are Zenskyy’s cards that he seems to form a winning hand?
9. If one carefully views all 50-minute tape, most of the most good thing Zenskyy first started to correct Vance, and Trump, secondly, started. Through Ukraine-splitting one to his hosts, and by his gestures, tone and interruptions, he made it clear that he assumed that Trump was simply more of the same, Clueless Moneybags Biden Waxen. And that was naive for such a so -called worldly leader.
10. March 2025 is not March 2022, after the heroic saving of KYIV – only three years and 1.5 million deaths and later injured. Zenskyy is no longer the international heartbeat with the glamorous entourage. He has postponed elections, forbidden opposition media, Habeas Corpus suspended and negotiations ran away when he had an even hand in the spring of 2022 and apparently even now when he does not do that in the spring of 2025.
Where are you going, Volodymyr?
