1-Ukrainian President Zelensky said in his statement that there can be no peace talks without Ukraine. It is known that the talks that started between the USA and Russia will also include Ukraine. Zelensky is right and a peace talk that does not include Ukraine is unacceptable. After all, the peace plan will also determine the fate of Ukraine.
2- But Zelensky has a contradiction at this point. If you are continuing a war by receiving help from other countries, those who provide you with financial and military aid also have every right to bargain over your country, including bargaining. Trump may say the following: ‘If you are sending soldiers to your country, if we are providing billions of dollars in aid, if we are sending billions of dollars worth of weapons, then we have the right to do all kinds of activities regarding Ukraine. ‘
3-Trump will actually say two more important things. First, Ukraine will not be able to become a NATO member. Because this is the first condition for Russia to start talks. Second, Ukraine will not be able to get the lands it lost from Russia. It is difficult for Zelensky to reject these two conditions because the USA, which provides the money and the weapons, has more say than Ukraine. It seems that the USA will decide, Ukraine will implement.
