As promised during his campaign, U.S. President Donald Trump remains steadfast in his commitment to ending the war in Ukraine.
- In February 2025, his rhetoric toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky became increasingly harsh.
- Trump has labeled Zelensky a "dictator without elections" and claimed that his approval rating in Ukraine is only 4%.
In a defiant response, Zelensky accused Trump of "living in a world of disinformation."
- U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has warned that Zelensky will “pay a price” for his criticisms of Trump.
On another Level:
Trump has proposed a deal that would grant the U.S. rights to extract Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in exchange for the financial support it provided to Ukraine.
Zelensky rejected this offer, stressing that discussions about profit distribution would only be considered once clear security guarantees were established.
The Bottom Line:
Zelensky understands that Trump does not tolerate being challenged. Nonetheless, fully aware that his time in office is short, he aims to depart the political stage as a "hero."
Meanwhile, Ukraine finds itself in a dire situation—having suffered the loss of an entire generation, significant territorial concessions, and a declining economy.
Placing faith in Europe to change the tide of the war, whether through military might or diplomatic efforts, is a perilous illusion; from the outset, the U.S. has dictated the course of this conflict and holds the power to end it whenever it chooses.
Note: The upcoming German elections could significantly alter Germany's stance on Ukraine, introducing new dynamics into this ongoing crisis.
