Zelensky's meeting with Di Vens: What President passed Trump before Putin's call

According to the results of closed negotiations, the head of the Ukrainian state wrote in Telegram that the subject of dialogue was a recent negotiation and diplomatic marathon in Istanbul. Zelensky also stressed that official Kiev was ready for "true diplomacy" and called for "a speedy full and unconditional ceasefire.

" “The issue of the need for sanctions against Russia, bilateral trade, defense cooperation, the situation on the battlefield and the future exchange of prisoners were also affected. He emphasized the need for further pressure on Russia until it is ready to stop the war. And, of course, we discussed our common steps to achieve a just and sustained peace, ” - told about the Roman meeting with Vance and Rubio Zelensky, calling it as a whole" good ".

 At the same time, as the President's office (OP) was subsequently reported, Zelensky sent Trump a letter with new proposals for cooperation in the defense-industrial and trade spheres. At the same time, Jay Di Vance announced the common purpose of both countries, following a meeting with the Ukrainian leader.  "Ukraine and the United States have a common goal-to put an end to unnecessary bloody blocks in Ukraine," the US Vice president wrote on the network K. .

A sufficiently positive puzzle in the common peace-conical case considers Zelensky's meeting with Vice President of the United States and the Secretary of State in Rome. “As of today, both Ukraine and Europe, given the Trump's psychotype, carry out the best tactics and strategy that is only possible. On the one hand, we try to emphasize our red lines in bold, and on the other, we will play with Trump, speaking his language. It is a combination of "gingerbread" and a rigid position.

And in this sense, Zelensky during a meeting with Vance and Rubio in Rome followed the formula: to promise everything and not give way to anything. I think that in the current situation we have no special choice, there are only variations: Trump either harms us or does not harm us. The second option is already a large enough bonus, ”the expert notes in conversation with focus.

Meanwhile, according to the political scientist, Kyiv has to do everything in order for Trump's administration to increase pressure on the Russian side. “Given the decrease in the economic capacity of the Russian Federation and the ability to continue to wage war, our task is not to give Trump serious reasons for indignation in Ukraine, and therefore not to leave the choice, except to apply to Putin what he promised - peace through force.

There is no other method to force Putin to real negotiations in nature. The Kremlin will still simulate negotiations, but sanctions will accelerate the inevitable political crisis in Russia. Anti -Russian sanctions are increasingly being spoken by Rubio, Kellog and other Trump team. Therefore, only Trump himself, as well as his adviser and friend Witcoff, have relatively illusions. But in my opinion, they are disappointed soon, ”the expert emphasizes.

Yuri Bogdanov predicts that "Trump's coercive processes for adequacy" will take several weeks. “Yes, it is not as fast as we would like it, but it is unlikely to work. And here it is extremely important that the sanctions are imposed in parallel with Europeans and Americans, since then the cumulative effect will be much greater.

And if Europe imposes sanctions preventively, Trump can be psyched and we will return to the point zero, which will not save Putin eventually, but significantly delayed the process, ”the expert sums up. At the same time, political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko, analyzing Zelensky's meeting with the American power tandem in the face of Di Vens and Rubio, calls not to evaluate Ukrainian-American communications under the prism of emotions.

In particular, in a conversation with focus, the expert stated: “It happened that we were accustomed to rushing to the extreme: either after an oval office, we shout that everything was gone, or when the Americans say something wrong, we insist on the termination of tramporal center policy. These are the wrong extremes, the paradigm of which should also not be evaluated by Trump either as a second Ukraine, or as an enemy who only dreams of what is stronger to make friends with Putin.

In fact, there are quite serious contradictions between the US and Russia, because otherwise they would have long agreed. Therefore, including Zelensky's meeting with the American Vice President and the State Secretary in Rome should not be evaluated in radical-emotional dimensions. The Ukrainians have already had some labels on Vens, but we have to build a weighted, constructive relationship with him, because it is really important.

” The expert predicts that in the near future, the United States will try to break the pathogen in the negotiations and accelerate the process to enter a compromise option. Most likely, the political scientist considers, the White House will not move not peace on Russian conditions, but its peace plan, better known as "22 points of Kelloga".

And although Financial Times writes that the Russians have rejected this plan, Vladimir Fesenko believes that Trump will personally push him in direct contact with Putin. Instead, the Russians, ascertain the political scientist, will delay peace negotiations, "because the Russian Federation plans to strengthen the war on the contrary.

" “Let it be there, but Donald Trump may eventually exacerbate anti -Russian restrictive measures, but will not impose so -called hellish sanctions against the Russian Federation. On the other hand, Trump will not go to negotiate with Putin on his terms. In Moscow, this is well understood, so Russia's strategy is to switch Trump on war in Ukraine to trade in trade and economic cooperation as a whole. Given the current moment, the letter of Zelensky Trump is a relevant tactical step.

However, speaking of US and Russia relations, I still think Putin will pushes Putin to make peace first, and then talk about trade, ”Vladimir Fesenko summarizes. In the current conditions, the political scientist, Ukraine, seeking ceasefire, will adjust to the US position, trying to press on Russia thanks to the United States.
