Zelenskyy Chooses Trump Over ‘Sissified’ Europe
March 8—Either someone has told him, or he has figured it out himself, or perhaps a little of both, but Ukraine’s dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy has figured out that he can get a better deal working with President Donald Trump than he will ever get from the British and their NATO whores, and wat one observer called a ‘sissified’ Europe, which his losing its American protector.
Thus, less than one week after NATO and its American collaborators steered him intro a confrontation with Trump that had him literally thrown out of the White House, Zelenskyy confirmed reports March 6 that he was dispatching a team to Saudi Arabia to meet with an American team, led by Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East and every other trouble spot, Steve Witkoff, to hash out the outline of a deal to end the NATO war against Russia using Ukrainian bodies—a war that has cost more than a million lives on both sides.
"The idea is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial ceasefire as well," Witkoff told reporters March 6, outside the White House. But sources say that there have already been preliminary discussions on the agenda for the meeting, in which Russian objections to the various "proposals" by the Ukraine and the Europeans have been laid out. The Russians, sources report, will accept some kind of peace keeping force, but not from NATO nations such as France or the United Kingdom; Russian President Vladimir Putin will say which nations they will accept. The reports of such information sharing indicate that Trump is looking for rapid progress to be made on the outline for a deal.
Zelenskyy had fled the United States last week, into the warm embrace of French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who had assembled European and NATO leaders to shower their little sock-puppet with praise for his show of toughness against the hated Trump and urge him to fight on for a peace on his terms. They pledged to step up military aid to Ukraine and assured him that there would be little real consequence from his dustup with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance in the Oval Office, which was blasted live on broadcast and other media around the world. The foolish Labour Lord Starmer assured his Parliament that he had this, that he was in control, and that Trump would talk tough and do nothing.
But no sooner had Starmer uttered those reassuring words, than Trump ordered all military aid to Ukraine halted, and then followed that up by cutting off all sharing of American intelligence with Ukraine, which despite bluster from Ukraine’s military to the contrary, renders an already difficult war near impossible to fight. Then, to further kick Starmer in his delusional “Special Relationship,” Trump ordered that no American intel relevant to Ukraine shared with the British be provided to Ukraine. Sources report that the same message was delivered to NATO.
These sources report that Zelenskyy was told that the aid cutoff would remain in effect until he took seriously Trump’s peace efforts being made on his behalf and agreed to start negotiations. “Witkoff communicated to Kyiv that the President wanted talks to begin next week, or he was prepared to take further embarrassing steps to show America’s lack of support for the continuation of the war,” a source reported. The communication from Trump to Zelenskyy was stark: “I don’t care who started the war. I only care who is going to stop it. Putin has agreed to stop it and find a durable peace. And you say no. You have to be kidding me.”
The source reported on another message delivered by Witkoff to the Ukrainians, about what Europe could actually do for Ukraine, despite what they might say. “Who can protect you, if America does not stand behind them? The British? Who the f ... fears them? They have a deployable army of 60,000. A joke. The French? An even bigger joke. The last time they fought anybody they were led by Charles de Gaulle. Trump will get you your best deal and then guarantee it. Putin will not break this deal.”
This and other sources say that Zelenskyy will allow next week’s talks delegation to be led by the head of the Presidential Office Andrey Yermak (who reportedly runs the corruption machine that distributes U.S. aid monies). Zelenskyy will authorize Yermak to agree to a full cease fire and define an agenda for the next round of discussion. Trump wants that following discussion to include a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin, tasked with working on the final terms of the agreement. Sources report that Zelenskyy plans to travel with the delegation to Saudi Arabia, for a meeting with Saudi leader Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“Trump is keeping his peace train running on time,” said the source. “He got a little behind with the dustup last week. Now he wants to make up time with negotiations [to take place either March 11 or March 12]. He wants a ceasefire to be in effect by Easter Sunday (April 20) and he wants the full deal worked out by May 9, the day the world and Europe celebrate the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany, by an alliance that included most prominently Russia and the United States.”
The key play for Trump in these talks is Witkoff, who is also working on the Gaza peace plan. “Witkoff won’t listen to any bullshit bluster from the Ukrainians,” said the source. “He is no nonsense and will call out bullshit. That may take some getting used to by the Ukrainians, since they are always talking bullshit about their victories, etc. That, and how Putin is a liar. None of that matters to Witkoff. “Make the deal. My boss will make sure everyone lives up to the terms.”
Yesterday, Trump issued a threat of new tough sanctions on Russia if it does not move quickly towards peace, saying that its forces were pounding Ukranian infrastructure. "The tough talk is for Zelenskyy's benefit," said a source close to the White House. "he is playing to the peanut gallery that says he is an agent for Putin's interest. But he knows that he does not need to drive Putin to the negotiating table. Putin is already openly talking where tri-partite negotiations with Ukraine, Russia and the United States should take place. He has suggested in Minsk, the site of previous peace negotiations, that were exposed a fake, as an effort to allow for NATO to arm and train the Ukrainians to fight the Russians. Putin is a master of irony."
