President Trump said that Russia has made "major" concessions! On April 24, Trump said he was pressuring Russia to end the Ukraine war and claimed that Moscow had agreed not to fully annex Ukraine, calling it "a major concession." Stop the war, stop full occupation of Ukraine. That's a big concession. We are exerting great pressure on Russia, and Russia knows this.
What do we think of Trump's remarks? Trump said that we are exerting great pressure on Russia, and Russia knows this. However, from Ukraine's perspective, Ukraine certainly does not see it this way. Ukraine wants continued U.S. aid, but Trump said a day earlier that Ukraine can choose peace or fight for another three years until the whole country is lost. Everyone can see clearly that the object of U.S. pressure is probably only Ukraine.
The U.S. has no new means, and even cannot come up with new sanctions against Russia. Russia's supply chain does not depend on the U.S., and the U.S. is also unwilling to continue aiding Ukraine. How can the U.S. exert pressure on Russia? Furthermore, Trump said that Russia has made a major concession by agreeing not to fully annex Ukraine. In Ukraine's eyes, what kind of concession is this? It would be more accurate to say that Russia's military strength is insufficient to achieve this goal rather than calling it a concession.
From Trump's remarks, Ukraine probably sees clearly that America's solution is to make Ukraine accept the reality of territorial annexation and satisfy Russia's conditions to achieve a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. However, President Zelenskyy of Ukraine is unwilling to sign any mining agreements, and such terms that involve losing national sovereignty will never be signed. The fact proves that the U.S. is in a desperate situation when solving the Russia-Ukraine issue.
