Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia must withdraw to its pre-invasion positions from February 24, 2022.

In an interview with Newsmax, he hoped that Donald Trump, with European backing, could end the war and influence Putin.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine will not accept any negotiated settlement that excludes its involvement.

He also suggested that Trump needs a diplomatic success to differentiate his approach from Biden’s. However, there is no indication that Russia is willing to retreat.

    Ukraine doesn’t have the luxury of stopping Trump or anyone else

    So why would they try? Why are you characterising them not attempting the impossible as “banking on Trump”?

    Noone but MAGA has Trump as Plan A, B, and C.

    Ukraine’s Plan A here is dictated by happenstance: Gotta wait for Trump because he’s gotta have his try. Plan B is going it alone with Europe. Plan C is their own military production. Plan D is partisan warfare. Ukraine is prepared for all of them.

      They should have a plan E, which should actually be plan A, and dust off those old nuclear designs and build a bomb.
