Ukraine's sovereignty versus US support crisis
US President Donald Trump on Sunday again criticized Ukraine's leadership, alleging that Kyiv had not expressed gratitude for US support and efforts during the ongoing war with Russia. He issued a statement on TruthSocial, blaming then-US President Joe Biden for the Russia-Ukraine war. He said that with proper leadership, this war would not have erupted. Trump also criticized Europe for purchasing oil from Russia.
Ukraine never felt grateful - Trump
US President Trump clearly stated that while the US provided Ukraine with so much help in the war, it never felt grateful to the US. Trump wrote on the social media account TruthSocial, "I inherited a war that should never have happened. A war that cost everyone. Millions of people were needlessly killed. The Ukrainian leadership has shown no gratitude for our efforts. Europe continues to purchase oil from Russia. May God rest the souls of all those who died in this war."
Zelensky has until November 27th.
Trump posted these comments shortly before US and Ukrainian officials are scheduled to meet in Geneva to discuss their proposals to stop the fighting. The White House has given Ukraine until November 27th to approve the plan. Donald Trump presented a new 28-point plan to end the Ukraine-Russia war and made it clear that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has no option but to continue the fighting and must accept the plan. According to reports, Kyiv is pushing for changes to the draft, which reportedly accepts many of Russia's toughest demands.
Under this proposal, Ukraine would have to leave the disputed territory, drastically reduce its military strength, and permanently renounce NATO membership. On Saturday, Trump told reporters that the proposal was "not his final offer" but insisted that he was determined to stop the fighting at any cost.
Zelensky disagrees with the proposal
Zelensky said his country faces a tough choice between defending sovereign rights and US support. He pledged that his people "will always defend their home." Before Sunday's talks, French Defense Minister Alice Rufo told France Info that the main point of discussion would be the restrictions imposed on the Ukrainian military in the plan, which "limit its sovereignty." She said, "Ukraine must be able to defend itself. Russia wants war and has started war several times in recent years."
