Trump thinks that Zelensky is ready to give up the Crimea to Russia
ai generated text
Trump stated that he believes Zelenskyy is ready to give up Crimea, which is currently occupied by Russia, and that the US proposal to let Russia keep occupied territory in Ukraine is "set in stone".
Ukraine on its own could have got a year ago what was included in that [Trump] proposal, it is akin to a capitulation. I cannot discern any added value.
But these will certainly not go … as far as they do in the latest proposal from the US president.
One of the scenarios is … to give up territory. It's not fair. But for the peace, temporary peace, maybe it can be a solution.
We'll never recognise the attempted annexation by Russia. We will never recognise it as a Russian territory and we will take whatever it takes … to occupy our land, our country.
Our position is very clear and our president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is very clear on that. Crimea is Ukraine.
Only the complete destruction of [Russia's] ability to wage war, that is the military-economic potential, can put an end to this.
There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities, and towns over the last few days.
Look, it was never bad. We had a little dispute, because I disagreed with something he said, and the cameras were rolling and that was OK with me.
Look, he's in a tough situation, a very tough situation. He's fighting a much bigger force, much bigger.
Well, I want him to stop shooting. Sit down and sign the deal. We have the confines of a deal, I believe, and I want him to sign it and be done with it.
It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war—he's just stringing me along—and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions'? Too many people are dying!!!
I see [Mr Zelenskyy] as calmer. I think he understands the picture, and I think he wants to make a deal.
