Zelensky is right about Putin
Zelensky is meeting with Trump in Florida to try and close the gap in the 20-point peace plan for ending the war in Ukraine. It's still a big gap because it revolves around the 15-20 per cent of Donbas in eastern Ukraine which Zelensky's troops are still controlling. But clearly Trump hopes Zelensky will move closer to his plan which is to turn the whole of Donbas, including the territory seized by the Russians, into an ecnomic zone which is free of all troops. Zelensky knows beyond any doubt that whatever comes out of the Florida meeting, Putin will reject it. Zelensky said as much before he began talks with Trump. Putin, he said, doesn't want peace, he wants war. He is totally right, and if Trump thinks otherwise, he is fooling himself. Putin has never wanted peace, despite Trump's insistence that the Russian leader DOES seek peace. Putin has said over and over again that he will take the whole of Donbas for Russia, whether by diplomacy or military force. Zelensky says he can't for constituional, moral and every other reason, hand over territory still in Ukrainian hands. So, total impasse. It's difficult to envisage what Trump can come up with in today's Florida meeting that will change this.
