After meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy today (October 18, Beijing Time), he posted: "The meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was very interesting and the atmosphere was very harmonious. But I told him, as I strongly advised President Putin, it's time to stop the killing and reach an agreement! There has been enough bloodshed, and property boundaries have been determined by war and bloodshed. They should stop here. Let both sides claim victory and let history decide! No more gunfights, no more deaths, no more huge and unsustainable financial investments. If I were president, this war would not have broken out. Every week, thousands of people are murdered - stop this, go home safely!"
[Witty] Comments: Trump shows a subtle shift again. After talking to Putin yesterday, the US-Russia summit may be held in Hungary in two weeks, and at this time he no longer mentions giving Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. After meeting with Zelenskyy, he posted, seemingly full of a "peace vision," urging both sides to stop the war and claim victory. However, this light-hearted approach to making both sides "stop" is actually an irresponsible act. How can the responsibility for the war be blurred? He blames the outbreak of the war on "not being the president," while ignoring the deep essence of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, trying to cover up complex contradictions with a simple "ceasefire." This inconsistent and principleless attitude is just political showmanship, hiding his real position and utilitarian considerations.
