Trump scolded Zelenski. He was throwing maps

“Financial Times” revealed dramatic details of the summit of US and Ukrainian presidents. According to European sources Trump “cursed all the time”, he said he was “tired” by watching the maps of the front lines and repeated the messages Putin had given him the day before in a telephone conversation; “The Russian economy is in large shape.” Finally, he refused to send Ukraine the Tomahawk rockets and demanded that Zelenski accept Moscow's surrender terms.

Trump scolded Zelenski. The British paper "Financial Times" revealed dramatic details of a private conversation between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenski. According to reports, Trump pressed the Ukrainian leader to accept the terms of the end of the war presented by Vladimir Putin, which in fact boil down to the surrender of Ukraine and include the complete withdrawal from the territories inactive belonging to Kiev in the Donbas region. Trump warned Zelenski that if he did not sign the agreement, he would be met with “destruction”.

Sources quoted by the Financial Times — European officials with details — say that the gathering held on Friday at the White home had repeatedly turned into “squeals”, during which Trump reportedly “cursed constantly” and even threw maps.

According to them, Trump sounded like he had accepted the Kremlin's narrative, repeating to Zelensk messages that Putin himself had given him the day before in a telephone conversation. He warned Zelenski that Ukraine was losing the war and told him, according to these sources, "If he (Putin) wishes, he will destruct you." Trump besides rejected Kiev's request for advanced missiles maneuvering Tomahawk — a weapon that, as Zelenski hoped, had increased force on Putin to agree to ceasefire on conditions more favourable to Ukraine.

The Reuters Agency published a akin account of the tense meeting, noting that Trump "indicated" an chance to offer safety guarantees to both Kiev and Moscow – a decision that, according to Ukrainian officials, has stunned them.

Since his return to the White House, Trump has repeatedly changed his position on the Russian-Ukrainian War — a war he promised to end within 24 hours, but later admitted that he failed to fulfill it. He called it “the hardest challenge in his abroad policy”.

OUR COMMENTS: It seems that Zelenski is in a losing position and will yet gotta capitulate, especially as Ukraine's interior situation is mournful. But the worst before it – the winter without electricity and heating.
