The difficult choice for Ukraine Zelenski

Voladimir Zelenski in Ukraine is in connection with.

After a catastrophic meeting last Friday in the Oval Cabinet, nothing seems to say that he is going well with President Donald Trump. And now the United States has stopped helping for Ukraine, its variants seem to be more thin.

Even a former close Republican ally in the United States, Senator Lindsay Graham, turned to him, suggesting “he or has to resign and send someone we can do business with, or he has to change.”

What change can it be – or should it resign if this is the price of US support?

This option seems to be the most common outcome of Zelenski and the Prime Minister of Ukraine now says that Kiev is open to conversations to sign a mineral deal with the United States.

Trump told Zelensky Point -Blank on Friday that he is not in a very good position: “You don't have the cards at the moment – you start having cards with us.”

Zelenski was ready to mark the deal of minerals with Trump on Friday before being told to leave the White House.

This particular card seems to have remained on the table, and on Monday night, Zelenski's chief assistant Andry Jermak said she was working on it with the Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick and the deal “is crucial to our countries.”

But obviously the Trump administration is holding on to be more.

Zelenski cannot afford to be humble in a disgusting apology. After three years of Russian bombing, Ukrainians are not in the mood for capitulation.

But he will have to find a form of words enough to calm Trump.

He may also have to accept a truce under Trump's conditions, even if he still believes that peace is “very, very far.”

Would the deal mean the resumption of assistance and to what extent? It is certainly a priority for Kyiv.

The head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of Parliament, Olexander Merezhko, says that stopping the US help is dangerous for Ukraine's ability to defend its own civilians.

Falling on his sword is not something that Zelenski will consider.

Trump also called it a dictator, at the same time, sounding Vladimir Putin's Russian propaganda story since the beginning of the war.

Zelenski said on Sunday night that it seems “a little undemocratic” for the Ukrainians to be told who should be their president.

He was eventually elected Ukraine's leader, and although his term of office was to end last year, he remains a president in martial law, who came in precisely because of Putin's Russian invasion.

This would be a great result for Putin, who has tried to replace Zelenski from the beginning of the war and will not even talk directly to him “because of his illegitimacy.”

But the only way that Zelenski would believe that it would be in return for NATO membership for Ukraine and Trump said he had to forget about it.

Several Ukrainian figures have become clear on Tuesday that they will last as long as it is necessary without the US help, but some reports suggest that the pause in the United States has stopped critically important missiles and air defense artillery.

Ukrainian MP Fedir Venislavski told local media that they could last about six months, but only the United States can provide them with air defense systems and multiple long -distance rocket systems.

Prime Minister Dennis Schmihal says that Ukraine is already producing about one -third of the weapons it needs, and its goal was 50%.

So can Zelenski rely on European allies instead?

The European countries collectively pay much more than the United States to help Ukraine, and the head of the European Union Executive Committee Ursula von der Leyen has announced plans to increase Europe's defense ability.

It offers up to 800 billion euros from defense – some of which will also go to help Ukraine.

But the EU and the United Kingdom are adamant that US security guarantees are vital in the event of fire ceased, even if in Sir Keyer Starmer's words, “it is right for Europe to make a heavy lift.”

Dennis Schmichal himself describes our specific guarantees as “existentially important” to Ukraine and the entire continent.
