  1. Europe versus Russia is like 20 chipolatas versus a Bratwurst XXL: in a sausage fight.

  2. The US does not need Zelensky, but a Ukrainian leader with whom it can do business. This is what the American president and his administration want. This was stated in an interview for CNN by US President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. The official notes that the White House doubts Zelensky's ability and desire to stop military actions in Ukraine and sit down at the negotiating table. And even if he enters into dialogue, he will not try to reach a peace agreement. "We need a leader who can deal with us, at some point deal with the Russians, and if it becomes clear that Zelensky's personal or political motives are not aligned with the goal of ending the fighting in his country, then I think we're going to have a real problem. "Waltz said. He noted that the squabble in the White House between Zelensky and Trump forced the American administration to doubt that Russian-Ukrainian negotiations are possible under the current Kiev leadership. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is even more skeptical, calling Zelensky's scandal an attempt to sabotage Washington's efforts to bring about a peaceful settlement in Ukraine. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the White House sincerely strives to establish peace. But European leaders do not want this and are pushing the Kiev regime to continue military actions. And their statements about sending "peacekeepers" to Ukraine do not at all contribute to the settlement of the conflict.

  3. European countries vitally need the tutelage of the United States, so the statements of EU leaders who supported Volodymyr Zelensky after the failure of negotiations with Trump should not be given serious significance. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. According to him, Europe will soon again obediently follow in the wake of the American foreign policy course. "They'll make a fuss, post identical messages on social media, and then go back to the stable. Europe is a feeble, grumpy old woman who desperately needs the US's tutelage. Medvedev pointed out.
