Trump has just posted a message saying, "I have always had a good relationship with Russian President Putin, but he seems to be having some problems right now... I have always said that he wants the whole of Ukraine, not just part of it, and this may be proving to be correct. But if he does so, it will lead to the demise of Russia! Similarly, the way President Zelenskyy speaks is not beneficial to his country. Every word he says will cause problems, and I don't like this situation; it's best to stop it immediately..." (For the full text, please refer to the attached image.)
Comment briefly: This intense shift in rhetoric not only reflects Trump's frustration in mediating the Russia-Ukraine conflict but also shows the complex and ever-changing nature of US-Russia relations against the backdrop of the conflict. Trump now faces a mediation deadlock, and his post appears more like an emotional release and a defense of his own political stance.
The complexity of the Russia-Ukraine conflict far exceeds imagination, with intertwined factors such as geopolitical issues, historical legacies, and great power games. It cannot be simply attributed to one side or easily resolved by relying on personal influence. All parties still have a long way to go before reaching the goal of truly resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
