UK PM Fools Zelensky After US Insult? Starmer Copies Trump Formula In £2 Billion Offer?| Ukraine

 

A day after Trump’s explosive clash with Zelensky, UK PM Keir Starmer pledged £2.26 billion for Ukraine—but with a catch. Unlike past Western aid, Britain is offering a loan, just as Trump suggested for U.S. funding. The money, backed by frozen Russian assets, will go into Ukraine’s weapons production. Is Europe shifting its stance after Trump’s tough talk?

SQUEAL AND ABYSS: TRUMP SHOWED ZELENSKY WHAT A REAL “ROLLER COASTER” IS

 

Andrey Zakharchenko

 

The altercation that broke out in Washington on February 28 between US President Donald Trump and the leader of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky , as a result of which the latter, as Western media write, was literally “thrown out of the White House for disrespecting the American people”, will lead to the most serious consequences in US relations not only with Ukraine, but also with Europe. Analysts of various levels are beginning to express this opinion not only in Russia, but also abroad.

Everything that happened, said, in particular, former US Army intelligence officer Scott Ritter in the Ask the Inspector podcast on one of the social networks, can be regarded as a complex “trap” for both Kiev and Brussels.

“We don’t need Europe anymore. You don’t love us, we don’t love you. We have a new friend – Russia, and it has everything you don’t have: a serious approach, culture, history, depth, economy, resources, and an army that can destroy you,” – this is the message, according to Ritter, that the US put into this action.

Kyiv is horrified: Zelensky was kicked out of the White House like the last tramp who doesn’t even have a suit

Washington meeting ends in ‘high-level’ scandal

HSE professor and political scientist Marat Bashirov holds a similar point of view .

“Trump: We either end this conflict or let them fight and see what happens. “Let them fight” means continuation without US help. This is how they decided to punish Ze. Either way, it’s a stalemate. A ceasefire for Ze is a disgrace, continuation is death,” he said on his TG channel “Politjoystick.”

But at the same time, social psychologist and military volunteer Roman Alekhine called for not forgetting that both Trump and Zelensky are real actors, and far from the worst ones.

“Emotions are often created by those who want to turn off the opponent’s critical thinking so that he focuses only on the scenario that is being slipped to him. This is a classic stratagem. And we need to keep in mind all the scenarios and the one in which Zelensky played along with Trump yesterday as part of the big scenario of a hybrid war with Russia. Or does anyone really think that Trump has been reborn as a messiah in his old age and will now create peace throughout the world?!” he asked a rhetorical question on his tg channel.

However, no matter how one evaluates what happened in the White House, questions inevitably arise.

Key or strategic – which path will the peaceful settlement in Ukraine take? Will Moscow and Washington agree on their own, involving (or not involving) Brussels and London at a certain stage, and will Kyiv simply be presented with a fait accompli?

And the tactical question is this: will American weapons supplies to Ukraine continue for some time?

In principle, there is already quite a lot of it there, but after all, “consumables”, for example, missiles for Patriot systems, have not been cancelled, F-16 fighters still require maintenance, and Kyiv is not refueling the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Starlinks of its own free will.

“I honestly don’t even know what kind of ‘trap’ Scott Ritter saw in what happened on February 28,” Konstantin Blokhin, a leading expert at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Center for Security Studies , shared his assessment of the situation with SP .

— In my opinion, it is only possible to discuss the topic of some hidden traps if we do not take into account all the prerequisites of this diplomatic scandal and do not understand all the specifics of the relationship between Trump and Zelensky throughout their entire political career.

But the relationship between them, mind you, has never been positive. Let’s remember how, during his first presidency, Trump talked to Zelensky and immediately almost got impeached, which the representatives of the US Democratic Party insisted on.

And in general, when meeting with Zelensky, Trump always had, to put it mildly, a not very happy expression on his face. Therefore, for me, the scandal in the White House did not come as a surprise; relations with the leader of the Kyiv regime have never worked out for Trump’s team, that’s a fact.

“SP”: So Moscow and Washington can really resolve the issue with Ukraine solely between themselves?

— It is obvious that Washington needs to get out of the Ukrainian conflict at any cost, because, firstly, it is expensive for the US, secondly, they have other priorities, and thirdly, their main enemy in the foreseeable future is China.

The only thing that worries the US now is how to get out of the conflict in a way that, as they say, saves face. And from this point of view, purely theoretically, Washington does not need to agree on anything with Kiev, or Brussels, or even Moscow, as strange as it may sound.

 

If Washington really wants this, it can simply refuse to support Ukraine, and that’s it. No negotiations are needed. Another thing is that Washington wants to get something out of this deal, not to leave empty-handed, to get at least a little benefit from it.

Here Trump first rolled out a price tag of 500 billion dollars to Zelensky. Then the price of the issue reached a trillion.

Shortly before the scandalous meeting, the talk was already about only 20 billion, from a black sheep, as they say, at least a tuft of wool. But even this deal, as we see, never took place – Zelensky went for broke, because during the meeting his last hopes of somehow keeping the US in the conflict melted away, and he had no choice but to be rude and argue. And we saw what we saw.

Trump’s Business Plan: Help Kyiv and Brussels Commit Suicide

“Make America Great Again” Without Russia’s Participation Will Not Work

In my opinion, the best illustration in the world of the collapse of Kiev’s last hopes was the reaction of the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova , who was so ashamed that she didn’t know where to look.

“SP”: So, can we have some confidence that the US will stop supplying its weapons to Ukraine? Probably even in the very next few days?

“I think this meeting actually helped Trump by giving him a psychological and even personal justification for the US to withdraw from the Ukrainian case, because such a decision has apparently already been made.

As is the decision that Washington needs to enlist Moscow’s support to resist China. And to pull this off, it is necessary to reconsider the American position on Ukraine, the Baltics, Finland and Sweden, and NATO in general. And these are truly revolutionary changes, as many American commentators are already saying.

Thus, I believe that the US, based on this, will either stop its military aid to Kyiv altogether or reduce it to some absolute minimum, purely for the sake of diplomatic, figuratively speaking, politeness.

Well, maybe there will be some humanitarian aid left, but Kyiv will definitely not see it on the same scale as before. True, this will take some time; inertia cannot be stopped instantly.

“SP”: And what about Europe? Is it planned to include it in the peace process at all?

— Now Kyiv’s only hope is in the European bureaucrats and European financial donors.

For them, of course, this will be a strong blow, since previously half of all Western aid came from the United States, but Kyiv’s calculations here are not empty.

At the very beginning of the SVO, most Europeans gave up on Ukraine altogether, but Great Britain with Boris Johnson got involved. It began to consolidate Europe on an anti-Russian basis. But no one wants to support this “leadership” of Great Britain anymore – neither France nor Germany. That is why, when Trump asked British Prime Minister Starmer whether Britain was ready to fight Russia alone, he only laughed.

Indeed, this is practically unrealistic. But I think that, again, by inertia, Europe will support Ukraine for another year or two.

In doing so, they will be looking closely at three factors that determine Europe’s position on supporting Ukraine. The first factor is that they will be looking closely, under a microscope, at how Trump’s relations with the “Washington swamp” are developing, hoping that it will drag him back onto the Russophobic path.

The second factor is the advancement of our troops. That is, when Europe sees that Ukraine is a spent, illiquid asset in which there is no point in investing, then they will really abandon it. But this is only possible in the conditions of the complete defeat and capitulation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Until this happens, Europe will continue to pump up the Kiev regime.

The third factor is the general global dynamics. That is, when Europe realizes that Russia, China and the US are developing rapidly, while it is stagnating against this backdrop due to support for Ukraine, then it will reconsider its positions. But all this will take time.
