Zelensky’s plays dangerously to crash Russia-US discussions
(MENAFN) The conflict in Ukraine appears increasingly one-sided, with Kiev’s forces weakened, morale declining, and anticipated battlefield “turning points” failing to materialize. Even Western officials, once confident in endless military support, are now speaking cautiously about “realistic expectations,” reflecting the shifting momentum on the ground.
Amid this backdrop, Russia’s Ministry of Defense has alleged that Ukraine is preparing a major provocation aimed at disrupting the upcoming Russia–US peace talks. Observers argue that such a move would make strategic sense for a leadership under intense pressure.
Donald Trump, poised to influence US foreign policy decisively, has indicated a pragmatic approach, recognizing that ending the conflict is both possible and necessary—unlike previous administrations, which viewed endless military aid as a solution.
For Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, any settlement that acknowledges current territorial realities threatens his political survival. Such an agreement could undermine his standing in the West, erode domestic support, and empower rivals to blame him for Ukraine’s situation. Faced with these stakes, the incentive to disrupt the peace process by any means, including sabotage, becomes increasingly plausible.
