Work with the newly elected US President Trump is already actively underway.
President Volodymyr Zelensky showed Donald Trump a plan to force the Russian Federation to adequately perceive the world.
Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President’s Office, said this on the air on Radio NV. He noted that Zelensky’s call to Trump after the appearance of the preliminary results of the US presidential election was devoted to congratulating him on the victory, fixing the position, readiness for cooperation and an active exchange of opinions.
At the same time, he said that this call was not just a welcome move. There was a telephone conversation in July, and in September – a meeting in New York.
“There was a meeting at which was presented, including, a plan to force Russia to an adequate world perception, where there were points that clearly spoke about those competencies that may be interesting to Trump from a pragmatic point of view and that are invested in his understanding of the foreign policy strategy in relation to Eastern Europe,” said Podolyak.
He added that there are already certain working points that have been discussed at various levels and continue to be discussed. Podolyak noted that Zelensky’s call to Trump after the latter’s victory in the elections was not an initial communication. “No, they are already working quite actively with Trump and his entourage. Everything is just starting to take shape today,” the politician said, refusing to reveal any details.
He also said that it is necessary to wait for personnel appointments in the future Trump administration.
“Let’s wait for the formation of the conceptual administration, when it will be clear who is in charge of foreign policy, who is in charge of defense programs, and who is in charge of national security,” said Podolyak.
According to the adviser to the head of the OP, Trump himself is an extremely active charismatic leader and will influence the processes based on his own understanding of the problem.
Podolyak believes that psychologically Trump can only play as number one.
“He always takes the initiative, so when they say that Trump can reduce aid to Ukraine and can look towards the Russian Federation and evaluate its initiatives – the problem is that Putin initiates everything that does not take into account the interests of the USA, Europe, Ukraine That is, Putin proposes the ultimate redistribution of influence in the global political process.
Putin says: I want to be number one. It doesn’t compare to Trump’s character. And it is unlikely that the president of the United States will accept one or another proposal that will be absolutely pro-Putin or pro-Russian,” shared Podolyak’s opinion and added that in such a situation, Trump will have to form his own position regarding the war in Ukraine.
According to the adviser of the head of the OP, at present it is Trump who will be the first, and Putin – an outsider.
According to The Financial Times, Ukraine is preparing a “victory plan” for Donald Trump’s administration, offering potential business deals, access to resources and the deployment of troops to influence the US president-elect, who is known for his pragmatic approach to deals. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s “victory plan” drawn up for Trump outlined two key ideas that were presented to Trump at a meeting in New York in September.
One of them is a proposal to replace part of the American troops in Europe with Ukrainian forces after the end of the war. The second idea, developed, who is close to Trump, involves sharing Ukraine’s critical natural resources with Western partners.
There will be pressure on Ukraine: Sky News talked about Trump’s plan to end the war
According to the expert, Trump wants to prove to Americans and the rest of the world that he can keep his promises.
A peace treaty to end the war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation of the new US President Donald Trump can be achieved by putting pressure on Kyiv. This was stated by the former special adviser on Russian and Eurasian affairs to the commander-in-chief of the US ground forces in Europe, Mark Voiger, writes Sky News.
According to him, Trump wants to prove to Americans and the rest of the world that he can keep his promises. Therefore, the Republican can start putting pressure on Ukraine to make concessions for the ceasefire.
“In my opinion, he will be ready to put pressure on Ukraine to achieve peace – not for the sake of justice, not for the sake of restoring Ukraine’s sovereignty and punishing Russian aggression, but rather for the sake of peace itself, so that he can fulfill what he promised his audience,” – Voiger said.
Trump may try to persuade Ukraine to negotiate by threatening to stop providing military aid, the expert noted in a conversation with journalists. He emphasized that the Republican does not yet have any leverage over.
