Prodded by the Euro-Globalists like UK’s Keir Starmer and France’s Emmanuel Macron, and cheered by the world’s USAID-media, Ukrainian chief Volodymyr Zelensky retains undercutting the peace course of together with his grandstanding, making all types of calls for that he won’t ever get.
Apart from torpedoing right now’s negotiations, the Kiev chief could have provoked the US Donald J. Trump’s administration one too many occasions, risking an American withdrawal from negotiations that will assure a a lot quicker collapse of his fight capabilities on his dropping warfare.
Trump took to Fact Social to blast Zelensky’s conduct after one other rug-pull from him.
“Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is boasting on the entrance web page of The Wall Avenue Journal that, ‘Ukraine is not going to legally acknowledge the occupation of Crimea. There’s nothing to speak about right here’.
This assertion could be very dangerous to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was misplaced years in the past beneath the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and isn’t even a degree of dialogue. No one is asking Zelenskyy to acknowledge Crimea as Russian Territory however, if he desires Crimea, why didn’t they combat for it eleven years in the past when it was handed over to Russia with no shot being fired? The realm additionally homes, for a few years earlier than ‘the Obama handover,’ main Russian submarine bases.
It’s inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s that makes it so tough to settle this Conflict. He has nothing to boast about! The state of affairs for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can combat for an additional three years earlier than dropping the entire Nation. I’ve nothing to do with Russia, however have a lot to do with wanting to save lots of, on common, 5 thousand Russian and Ukrainian troopers every week, who’re dying for no motive in any way.
The assertion made by Zelenskyy right now will do nothing however lengthen the “killing area,” and no person desires that! We’re very near a Deal, however the man with ‘no playing cards to play’ ought to now, lastly, GET IT DONE. I sit up for with the ability to assist Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this Full and Whole MESS, that will have by no means began if I had been President!”

“To make an excellent deal. Each side must stroll away slightly bit sad. And sadly, President Zelensky has been attempting to litigate this peace negotiation within the press, and that’s unacceptable to the president.
These ought to be closed door negotiations. The president’s nationwide safety crew, his advisors, have exuded important time, power, and energy to attempt to convey this warfare to an finish. The American taxpayer has funded billions of {dollars} on this effort, and sufficient is sufficient.
The president’s annoyed. His persistence is working very skinny. He desires to do what’s proper for the world.
He desires to see peace. He desires to see the killing cease. However you want either side of the warfare keen to do this.
And sadly, President Zelensky appears to be shifting within the flawed route. Does the president suppose that Europeans are doing sufficient, and a few nations are spending extra in protection, reaching the two% threshold? So what does the president take into consideration European help for Ukraine? Look, the president has all the time maintained that Europe all the time must do extra, whether or not it’s within the effort to finish this warfare in Russia and Ukraine, whether or not it’s by way of their spending relating to NATO and their very own protection spending, as effectively. He’s made that clear to them in non-public and in addition in public.”

A voice for Russian maximalism, former Russian President and present Deputy Chairman of the Safety Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev trashed the Ukranian chief:
Trump: Kiev’s refusal to acknowledge Crimea as Russian harms negotiations to resolve the battle.
We’ve been ready! I hope totally different European freaks like Starmer and Macron will hear this. After which the typhoid louse of Kiev, who’s in narcotic oblivion, might be delivered to life.— Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) April 23, 2025

We’ve been ready! I hope totally different European freaks like Starmer and Macron will hear this. After which the typhoid louse of Kiev, who’s in narcotic oblivion, might be delivered to life.”

Former Zelensky high aide, Oleksiy Arestovych, defined why giving up the 4 areas now’s the lesser evil.
“Why ought to we give 4 areas? For one easy motive, as a result of in six months or a 12 months you’ll give 6. If you’re not sensible sufficient, you’ll give 8. Is that motive sufficient? It’s a quite simple state of affairs. As we speak, to present 4 is to pay for the passage, which really appeared like one rest room flush for 3 or 4 years, for all of the errors. To acknowledge these errors, to acknowledge, to really say, ‘sure, we’re giving all of it away, we’re slicing it off’.
How will we give it again? De facto. It’s clear that de jure nobody will give it again. That’s all, and get an opportunity to reset the undertaking. That is each a move for 3 or 4 years and an entrance ticket to a brand new actuality. And Ukraine may be one other, a lot better – to vary the way in which of financial administration. ‘We are going to combat to the final patriot, we is not going to quit the Russian-speaking areas.’ And why had been you suppressing them, these Russian-speaking areas?”

Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko additionally harshly criticized the Kiev chief, mentioned ‘the state of affairs is fucked’.
Slavyangrad reported:
“’In response to all my contacts, there is just one query: why is Zelensky popping out and commenting on one thing? Couldn’t he simply preserve quiet for a bit?’ the Ukrainian MP writes.
He considers the US phrases of the take care of Russia to be ‘regular’ and referred to as for ‘trying into the eyes of actuality’, admitting that with out US assist the state of affairs will solely worsen.
‘Sadly, we can not recapture our territories with the assistance of the US proper now, so why ought to we recapture them with out their assist? How? We’d like peace. Freeze. Cease’.”
