Trump-Putin deal on Ukraine will be Europe’s moment of reckoning
February 27th, 2025 | 
Author: 
I refer to the CNA’s Commentaries, “Trump-Putin deal on Ukraine will be Europe’s moment of reckoning” (Feb 20) and “Ukraine can survive with the ‘least worst’ peace” (Feb 22).
Now, In the eyes of European Union, they have lost trust and confidence in the United States, it is solely due to the flip flop foreign policy whenever there is a replacement of political power, especially when Trump is in power.
For the sake of the United States' own interests, Trump will use all means to escape from the EU. Trump believes that the United States should not and is not worthy of spending large amounts of military expenditures to defend the EU. He is also determined to force Ukraine to cease war with Russia. At the same time, Trump also insisted that EU member states must step up and insisting that the EU to increase its defense spending.
Relations between the United States, Ukraine and the European Union took a sharp turn for the worse when it began with the Putin-Trump telephone conversation on 12 February and their presidential pledges to kickstart relations.
It continued with the Munich Security Conference that took place from 14 February to 16 February 2025 in Munich, Germany. In this conference, there were obvious signs of schism between Europe and America.
Next stop Saudi Arabia for the Russia-US talks: the first high-level in-person contacts between the two countries since the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This has shown Trump deliberately skipped the EU and deliberately did not want the EU to participate in the Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations. This move undoubtedly angered the EU.
That was why Zelensky, who reacted to US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia from which Kyiv was excluded, said the US president was "living in a disinformation space" governed by Moscow.
And, President Trump has called Zelenskyy a "dictator" and deepening the rift between the two leaders.
In fact, Trump has kept two hidden agendas in his sleeves for ending this three-year long Russia-Ukraine war:
One is to repair the damaged relations between the US and Russia. Trump doesn’t want to see Russia leans too close to China, as US treats China as its present and future robust competition rival.
Undeniably, these competitions are in terms of military strength, technology, AI and science, space race and cultural influence.
This is a key point that the United States will never ignore.
Next, once achieving the closure of Russia-Ukraine war, Trump expects the global supply of crude oils will be persistently smooth and oil prices will drop. This will greatly relieve the pressure of domestic inflation in the United States, and it will fulfil his earlier presidential promise of bringing the country’s economy upward.
Secondly, Trump will effortlessly obtain the rights to develop and operate Ukrainian mines after the Russia-Ukraine war ends.
As Trump predicted a minerals agreement with Ukraine would be “signed hopefully in the next fairly short period of time”. The White House national security adviser, Mike Waltz, said on 21 February that Zelenskyy was expected to sign a deal imminently.
Anyway, Ukraine suffered a major defeat in the Russia-Ukraine War. On February 15, 2025, President of the Republic of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky announced that Ukraine would lose 4,000 square kilometers of territory in 2024 (including Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, followed by Ukraine's loss of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye). At the same time, 65 square kilometers of industrial town - Toretsk is also in danger under the onslaught of the Russian army. As a result, the morale of the Ukrainian army was depleted. In short, Zelensky has lost his bargaining chip for Russia-Ukraine peace.
Even although Zelensky on Wednesday rejected US demands for $500bn in mineral wealth from Ukraine to repay Washington for wartime aid, saying the US had supplied nowhere near that sum so far and had offered no specific security guarantees.
Ukraine has never been able to escape the tragic fate of failure. In the end, Ukraine was still unable to join the NATO camp, and at the same time it paid a heavy price in the lives of hundred thousand of soldiers and civilians.
Despite this, many ordinary people may ask, is the world dominated/dictated by hegemonic powers like the United States and Russia? Then, what is the ultimate goal or functions of the United Nations?
The way Trump administration bypasses or excludes the European Union, Ukraine or China at the planned schedule of Russia-Ukraine peace talks is really incomprehensible, ridiculous and unacceptable as well as making the whole world “blood boil”.

I agreed with Trump when he said the war was started by Zelensky who in turn is supported by Ukrainians pro democracy supporters.
But coward pro democracy supporters ran away to hide when war start instead of going to the frontline to fight and died.

“… making the whole world “blood boil”.
Please. The majority of the world population (>4 billion) don’t care. Of those who care, the majority are in favor of peace asap. Only a small number of EU politicians blood boil.
The way that Biden and EU attack Russia, WW3 is very close. Now, Trump is bringing some sense to that war.
Putin and Trump are very sensible. You think a negotiation between 1 country and a group of 30 countries will reach a settlement? No way.
Since the war is caused by NATO headed by US, as admitted by Trump, it makes sense for US and Russia to negotiated.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (his term of office expired on 20 May 2024) has admitted that the country has lost about 4,000 square kilometres of territory in 2024. He made the corresponding statement at the Munich Security Conference on February 15.
“We have lost 4 thousand square kilometers,” he said during the speech, which was broadcast on the conference website.
An area of 4000 sq km is very small. It is only 6 times Sg. The war has not progressed much in terms of land area. Russia soldiers have been constrained to Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye. Very little outside.

Everyone is standby and watch only (隔岸观火). If they are willing and able to help, wont wait till 3 years. Why must include them now?
loading...
What if Zelenskyy says: “all right, we shall merge completely into Russia”！
DT will not get his USD 500 billion back
Russia will become much stronger
All countries, big or small, in Europe will shiver through their spines
Caucasian way of democracy will be shunned by the global south
Inflation in the United States will become rampant and out of control. Extreme cases of obesity will be very common due to junk food.
Zelenskyy will have the last laugh!

“Despite this, many ordinary people may ask, is the world dominated/dictated by hegemonic powers like the United States and Russia? Then, what is the ultimate goal or functions of the United Nations?”
Those “ordinary people” do not know history. UN has been around for 8 decades. In that time, the world has seen a hundred or more wars. Go read up.

Why US Trump bypass EU and talks directly with Putin?
Because EU is free riding and leeching off US on defence.

The brilliant minds in these newsrooms only know how to repeat things from other ‘sources’ which were probably made up anyway. No one knows what will happen. And if Trump is successful in a peace deal so what? In four years when he is replaced, Amerika will go to war again with Russia and who knows what other countries. That is who they are and what they do. Of course they are better than those commies in China. So we have no choice in $inkieland because without them China will claim $inkeland as its own and we will all be in deep shit.

EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas has stated that Brussels will “step up” its support for Kiev “so that they can continue to fight back the agressor (sic).”
“Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge,” the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs wrote on X.
EU wants to replace US as the “free world” leader.
Note: The “free world” bomb the un-free world, such as Libya, Iraq, Afghan, Russia.

Diplomacy and Democracy vs Autocracy.
Let the residents in the conquered 4000 sq m of Ukraine VOTE.
If they choose Russia over Ukraine sovereignty for Peace,then so be it.
If they choose Ukraine over Russia,so letZelenskyy continue to fight Putin till one get fully conquered.
Trouble is USA is no more seen as “ALMIGHTY”.
Thanks to their recent lame presidents and greedy rich.
Putin is Aggressor and Transgressor.
What if Putin attack America or maybe just Britain?
Will America “take side” or be neutral as “GREAT MEDIATOR”?
MEDIATION REQUIRES FAIRNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS or it is PLAIN BS!

Zelensky should meet with Putin directly and come to a settlement. There is no need for American or EU involvement. It should be the same in the Middle East. All who are looking at America as their allies are going to fall flat on shit coming out of the American ass.Nethanyahu should take heed. So should our own leaders who fill American coffers with billions of dollars buying weapons.

Trump globally ,not just publicly ,chastised Zelenskyy for not being grateful and pushing the world into Third World War.
As for ungrateful conduct,8 can somewhat agree.
Zelenskyy behave like present young turk$ rhinking the whole world owe them a living.
As for starting a 3rd world war,WHO SUPPLY THOSE WEAPONS and actually start the agression?
WHY TRUMP NEVER AT ONE JUNCTURE CHASTISE OZTIN AT ALL?
IS PUTIN SUCH A GREAT BED-FELLOW?
No wonder The First Lady showed some 7nhappiness at Trump’s Inauguration.
She even avoided being kissed vy him by qearing a hat.
Well,just saying.
Seriously,Trump says USA does not take side.
But why spare Putin and even lay blame on a victim?
Reminds me of our CMC’s (Community Mediation Centre) appointed mediators.
Many cases ,I heard,victims were cajoled into “settlement” by harsh mediators who don’t even understand how to mediate graciously and justly.
Actually,our CMC is a sham.
Our CMC behaves like TRUMP towards Zelenskyy.
Don’t agree?
CMC CAN GATHER HONEST FEEDBACK FROM VICTIMS OF AGRESSION.
BTW,SPF shirking responsibility.
Even in HK,NEIGHBOURHIOD POLICE DO A BETTER JOB.
So too Taiwan,S Korea and Japan and even CHINA,especially CHINA.

The Meeting should have been closed-door.
The Angmohs never conduct televised meeting with Putin,have they?
So,it was clearly a CHEAP SET UP to put Zelenskyy down.
And,Vance dare say the Angmohs are approaching the matter by diplomacy?
WHAT EXACTLY IS GOOD N DECENT DIPLOMACY?
WORLD LEADERS BEHAVING LIKE SCHOOL BULLIES; even REAL GANGSTERS BEHAVE MORE DIGNIFIED?
MAGA?
Make America Gangsters Again.

First and foremost, I am NOT stupid like Goh Meng Seng or Hong Kees pro U$/Western democracy supporters.
I support a democracy system that are based on geographical region culture and needs, e.g. a democracy system that bring lasting peace and security and fairness for anyone who treasure it.
We do not want a democracy system that say man can transit to woman and further transit to cockroach which Goh Meng Seng fail to tell you.

This part is none sense as US need an strong ally in ME to conquer land and Nethanyahu fit the bill for US long term strategy in ME.
We need to continue to buy America weapons because their weaponry are battle proven.
Buy China weapons??? Hahahaha…it is meant for the showroom at best

This is actually the best outcome for Ukrainians.

Their weaponry are battle proven against AK47.
Useless against drones.

If American weapons are so superior as what is claimed the war in Ukraine and Gaza should not be continuing for so many years.As the IDF has shown they are effective on civilians not in combative militia. Our government is making the same mistake as the IDF in its defence plan.

+1 (100% agreed).
Trump has made it clear that Zelensky is not ready for peace and he hopes that Zelensky is replaced.

Now, this is speed.
The Russian army is conducting a major counteroffensive in Kursk Region, which was invaded by Ukrainian forces in August 2024. In just the past 24 hours, Russian troops have liberated 12 settlements and recaptured over 100 square kilometers of territory. This week, the industrial zone in Sudzha, the largest Russian city under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), was also retaken.
One day, 100 sq km. Speed.
At this speed, 1 year 36,599 sq km.
In comparison, 4,000 sq km over 1 year is snail pace.
