Ukraine has once again become a Bargaining Chip in US Politics
News:
On 13 February, the world media spread news about the telephone conversation between President Trump and President Putin. In particular, the Russian service ru.euronews.com reported:
‘According to Trump, he spent more than an hour in a phone conversation with Putin, concluding, ‘I think we're on the road to peace.’ He noted that he later spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but did not elaborate on whether Ukraine would be an equal participant in US negotiations with Russia.
‘I think President Putin wants peace, President Zelensky wants peace, and I want peace,’ Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. - ‘I just want people to stop getting killed.’
Of his conversation with Putin, Trump said: ‘People didn't know what President Putin was really thinking. But I think I can say with great confidence: he wants it to be over, too, so that's good, and we're going to work to get it over, and as quickly as possible.’
Trump said he would probably meet Putin in person in the near future, suggesting that it could happen in Saudi Arabia.
Asked whether Ukraine is an equal participant in the peace process, Trump said, ‘That's an interesting question. /.../ I think they're going to have to make peace.’
Comment:
America has confidently taken the place of the world leader in the international arena and with its inherent arrogance solves issues all over the world, in its own interests humiliating everyone and disregarding human lives.
In the beginning, the US has drawn Europe into a war against Russia in order to weaken both sides. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people died and millions became refugees. Now that the US has a need to stop the bloodshed, it is deciding the fate of Ukraine, without its participation, and even Europe, drawn into this conflict, is left out of the negotiations. It is possible that Trump will invite the Ukrainian side to the talks, but ultimately the issue of suspending the conflict at this stage has been accepted by the US, not Ukraine and not in Ukraine's interest.
We have seen how during the 3 years of the war, the Ukrainian side was influenced by US policy, which restricted military aid to Ukraine by various laws and pretexts, which influenced the course of the war. Ukraine was not allowed to lose the war, but was also not given the opportunity to defend its borders, generally throwing the aggressor back where it came from. And today, after years of bloody war, the US is forcing Ukraine to forget everything and sit down at the negotiating table.
Ukraine made a reckless act, deciding to play in the sandbox of big states, relying on the entreaties of a country that for decades has been pursuing a bloodthirsty colonialist policy only in its own interests.
Being dependent on the policy of the USA and European countries, Ukraine cannot influence their decisions in their struggle for the place of the world leader on the world arena. As long as Ukraine does not have its own independent policy, it will be just a way and means to achieve the goals of major colonising countries. In this case, the USA has started a new game against China's economic expansion around the world. And in this struggle, America decided to use Russia, offering it to solve the issue of Ukraine in favour of Putin, in return for alienating cooperation with China. Thus, Ukraine, once again, became a bargaining chip in the ruthless struggle of big states for a place of leadership in the international arena.
