Zelenskyy and Trump are together again
At the NATO summit held in the Netherlands, Zelenskyy posted today: "Together, we can surely protect life and achieve real security and peace."
From the seating arrangement, the Dutch organizers deliberately separated the two as a "conflict prevention design," which is a sharp satire of the "unity" narrative. Trump's restriction on Zelenskyy's participation (only allowing him to attend the banquet, not the formal meeting), seems to be using diplomatic etiquette to label Ukraine as an "outsider." This subtle sense of exclusion contrasts sharply with Zelenskyy's grand narrative of "protecting life."
Under Trump's request, the NATO summit intentionally avoided setting an agenda on the Ukraine issue, implying that the West is downgrading Ukraine from a "strategic core" to a "procedural existence." When Zelenskyy used "peace" rhetoric to seek support, NATO Secretary General Rutte admitted the reality that "the US has not proposed a new aid project for Ukraine," which had already set the tone for this photo-op without synchronization.
