Before the meeting, Trump addressed Zelenskyy.
Russian State News Agency reported on August 18: "US President Trump said that if Ukraine gives up Crimea and agrees not to join NATO, Zelenskyy 'can almost immediately stop the conflict'."
Previously, it was reported that Trump had agreed to a "territorial concession for peace" plan with Putin. Now, his remarks have gradually made this plan take shape. For Ukraine, its homeland has been destroyed by war, and it may take decades to recover. If it accepts territorial concessions, it would be a complete defeat in the conflict. The cruelty of great power games lies here; small countries often become victims, and even when facing humiliation, they can only reluctantly bear it.
