With talks stalled, Zelensky says he needs more money for next year
By Ian Proud
Ukraine is already asking for more money to continue fighting into 2026, a sure sign that President Volodmyr Zelensky has no plans to end the war.
With the battlefield continuing to favor Russia, European leaders have their collective heads in the sand on who will pay. How long before President Trump walks away?
The leaders of France, the U.K., Germany, and Poland over the weekend joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “demand” that Putin immediately agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. If Putin doesn’t submit, they warn, more painful sanctions will be levied on Moscow. The result of this latest “coalition of the willing” action will ensure that the war continues, and any possibility of peace will be destroyed.
If there were an anti-Nobel Peace Prize, these five men would surely win it.
Ukraine must shift its foreign policy strategy to appeal to American conservative media and Trump’s goals by emphasizing what both countries can gain, not via moral arguments.
Ukraine cannot afford to approach Donald Trump like it approached Joe Biden.
