Ukraine may one day become Russia

US President Donald Trump has made explosive comments hinting at a shift in American policy towards Moscow. He said that Ukraine could one day become Russia. He said this in an interview with the famous media outlet Fox News. US Vice President J.D. Vance is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week. Trump’s comments have already caused an uproar in the international community. Nearly three years after the Kremlin invaded Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin’s forces are ramping up their presence on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Trump, who promised to end the war within 24 hours during his presidential campaign, is now pressuring Moscow and Kiev to bring him to the negotiating table.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Donald Trump said that Ukraine could make a deal with Russia. Or it could not. Or it could be that Ukraine could one day become Russia. There is a lot of discussion surrounding Trump’s comments. What exactly the US president meant to say is being analyzed in detail. The US president is calculating the return on investment, recalling US aid to Ukraine. He has suggested a trade deal with Kiev for natural resources such as rare minerals. The president said he told them (Ukraine) that he wanted something in return, such as $500 billion worth of rare minerals, and they agreed to it. Volodymyr Zelensky’s government has already signaled that it is ready to enter into negotiations with the US and other allies to form a partnership to extract resources in exchange for security guarantees. Trump, who has repeatedly claimed that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine would never have happened if he had been in the Oval Office in 2022, has been pushing for a quick end to the war since taking office. He has previously hinted at cutting off the supply of huge military aid to Ukraine. But Zelensky is demanding tough security guarantees from Washington as part of any deal with Russia. Kiev fears that any deal that does not include hard military commitments, such as NATO membership or the deployment of peacekeeping troops, could give the Kremlin a chance to re-arm for an attack.

Putin’s conditions must be met to end the war: Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that all of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s conditions must be met before the war in Ukraine can end, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who is in charge of Russia’s relations with the United States and arms control. On Monday, he insisted that Russia must meet all of its conditions before reaching a peace deal with the United States on the Ukraine issue. Russian President Putin detailed his conditions for an immediate end to the war in Ukraine in June last year. These included abandoning Ukraine’s dream of joining the Western military alliance NATO. And completely withdrawing troops from four regions of Ukraine that Russia currently claims as part of its territory and that are mostly administered by Russia. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said that the sooner the United States and other Western countries understand and accept these conditions, the sooner a solution to the Ukraine war will be reached. Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday that he believes the United States is making progress in talks to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Asked whether he had spoken to Putin before taking office as president on January 20, Trump said, “We spoke. That’s all we said.” The Kremlin neither confirmed nor denied that Trump had spoken to Putin. However, before any talks on Ukraine began, Ryabkov quickly announced Moscow’s final demands. However, Ukraine had already refused to accept all of Putin’s conditions. The country wants to join NATO and regain control of territory lost to Russia. In June last year, Kiev said that Putin’s conditions for Ukraine amounted to surrender.
