"The United States does not plan to invite Zelenskyy to attend or observe the meeting between Trump and Putin," said the U.S. on August 10 local time. President Trump may have hoped for a three-way meeting, but Russian President Putin only agreed to meet with Trump, so the U.S. did not allow Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to participate in the Alaska meeting. However, the U.S. allowed Zelenskyy to come, but he had to wait in Alaska first, waiting for the results of the meeting between President Trump and President Putin, and then arranging a meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump. In short, this is Trump telling Zelenskyy: "Go back and wait for a call!"
Earlier, President Trump had clearly stated: "Zelenskyy must sign certain agreements." Currently, European countries are worried that the U.S. and Russia might reach an agreement on the Ukraine issue without consulting European countries. The main problem of European countries now is that they don't know what they want, always wanting to wait for a good result. The U.S. has many ways to deal with Ukraine; as long as the Ukrainian authorities don't obey, the U.S. will cut off all military aid, especially cutting off all intelligence supplies, including Starlink. Europe cannot replace the role and military aid of the U.S., which will greatly widen the gap in battlefield strength. Second, it can incite neighboring countries of Ukraine to "reclaim their ancestral lands," such as Poland, Romania, Hungary, which have been eager for a long time.
During this meeting between Trump and Putin, Zelenskyy and Europe were not at the table. Europe's idea was to have Ukraine at the table, including themselves also at the table. But the Ukrainian authorities refused to cede territory, which formed a deadlock. How can they talk with Russia? Essentially, Europe and Ukraine do not want the war to end, hoping to continue the war for several more years, waiting for Russia's economy to collapse first, waiting for Russia to self-collapse and self-divide. However, the U.S. has seen that under the conditions of the war, Russia is stronger the more national strength it has, and various weapons and ammunition are produced in mass. This is unacceptable for the U.S. to continue participating in the Ukraine war, as it would be a waste of precious military resources of the U.S. The U.S. needs to withdraw from the Ukraine battlefield as soon as possible.
