Zelensky faces a painful choice in Saudi Arabia talks - bend the knee to Trump or lose his country
Volodymyr Zelensky faces a painful decision in peace talks in Saudi Arabia
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faces a difficult decision at Saudi Arabia talks: accept a potential ceasefire unfavourable to Ukraine or risk losing crucial US support.
- Former US President Donald Trump's pro-Russia stance and actions, including suspending military aid and intelligence sharing, have significantly impacted the war, putting Ukraine at a disadvantage.
- Russia's recent advances in the Kursk region, seemingly coordinated with the White House, have shifted the war's momentum.
- A potential ceasefire, while offering respite from Russian attacks, could also hinder Ukraine's counteroffensive capabilities and allow Russia to regroup.
- This situation puts Zelensky in a precarious position, potentially facing blame for any ceasefire breaches while grappling with the possibility of further US support withdrawal, including access to the Starlink satellite system.
