US President Trump continued to make tough remarks to Zelenskyy this morning (Beijing time, 8:18 AM): "If Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is willing, he can almost immediately end the war with Russia, or he can continue to fight. Remember how the war started. Crimea, which was ceded by Obama (12 years ago, without firing a single shot!) cannot be reclaimed, and Ukraine will never join NATO. Some things never change!!!"
[Witty] Comments: Trump's remarks clearly show his arrogance and brutality. He completely shifts the responsibility of ending the war onto Zelenskyy, as if Ukraine were the source of the war, while ignoring the complex geopolitical factors such as US provocation and NATO expansion that are the real causes. Mentioning Obama's "cession" of Crimea is even more of an attempt to emphasize that these are mistakes made by previous US presidents, not related to Trump himself. Trump also asserts that Ukraine can never join NATO, which completely extinguishes the few hopes that Ukraine has left. It is clear that Trump is in a hurry, and he is eager to achieve diplomatic achievements in promoting peace between Russia and Ukraine before October this year, in order to use it as a bargaining chip for the Nobel Peace Prize.
