Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky just COMPLETELY destroyed any hope for Peace talks, or for a continued existence for Ukraine. Less than one hour after Presidents Putin and Trump spoke by phone, Zelensky said this:
- - Kiev will not accept any sort of ultimatum by Russia
- - Ukraine will not withdraw its troops from anywhere or give up any territory
- - Ukrainian NATO aspirations are not up for debate, there will be no neutrality
- - He expects new European sanctions against Russia soon
- - He asks Trump not to make any decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine
Hal Turner Analysis
There is no rational hope for putting together a plan for either a ceasefire or for peace, as long as Volodymyr Zelensky has anything to do with negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Zelensky's term as President of Ukraine EXPIRED last May. The Ukraine Constitution only makes provisions for the Legislature, the Verkhovna Rada - to remain in office during Martial Law. It does NOT make any such provision for the President to remain in power.
For Zelensky to be able to scuttle legitimate peace efforts, and thereby cause the continuation of a war that is killing more than 5,000 troops a week, is obscene to me.
If we take Zelensky at his word, then it seems to me this conflict will not be resolved until all of Ukraine is destroyed by Russia and most Ukrainians are dead from that conflict.
The United States should approach Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada and tell them to oust Zelensky by lawful Parliamentary means, and have their Parliament Speaker or whatever the leader is called, stand-in to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine.
If these efforts are deemed by the US government to be not possible, then the United States should inform Ukraine that, thirty days from now, all US Aid and support of Ukraine will end.
No more weapons, No more ammunition. No more money, no more satellite access. No more Intelligence information. NOTHING from us at all.
END U.S. INVOLVEMENT IN THIS CONFLICT.
Europe is far too weak to replace the US, and Zelensky is far too obsessed to deal rationally. If we in the U.S. walk away now, then the war will end within a few short months because the Russians will steamroll over Ukraine.
Unless we separate our country, the US, from this disastrous Zelensky character, I truly believe he will drag us into World War 3.
None of this has to be. Zelensky has to be lawfully removed, or the US should walk away.
