The way how President Zelenskyy has dealt with his difficult relationship with President Trump can only be praised. It was a long way from the infamous first meeting back in 2025 to the productive relationship today. Let’s not also forget Putin‘s red carpet visit in Anchorage. Russians were drunk of celebrating of how sour the relationship between Washington and Kyiv has become.
Fast forward to today and the situation can hardly be more different. Ukrainians forces achieved decisive blows against Russia‘s war effort deep inside Russian territory. Ukrainian drone technology is high in demand and even Trump can’t ignore that. And he acknowledges this.
Figures of the MAGA world are increasingly switching sides. The motives might be subject of discussions, but for the time being they are beneficial for Kyiv. Furthermore, it is fact that Ukraine is a natural ally of the USA, especially when seeing the situation in Iran. Ukraine was the first country to offer unconditional help despite being itself in a dire situation, while Russia aides Iran in killing US servicemen.
Putin has bungled practically everything since the start of the open war back in 2022. His war is a losing streak of epic proportions. He wanted Trump to rescue him and not even that is materializing. If Vladimir‘s strategy was to sell to his people that Trump will be his savior, then the disappointment is immeasurable.
Instead, it is Zelenskyy who tours the US, sitting next to Trump, and jumping from high-Level meeting to the next one, while Putin is hiding in his nameless bunker and sending his terrible looking doubles to the Potemkin celebrations.
Zelenskyy is not in Washington to beg, he is there to make the deals nobody can make, because he has the cards. A marvelous transition of him and Ukraine which by assessment of not few was supposed to fold in 3 days. 4 years later, however, Ukraine has never been stronger.
