The conversation is not about that

The scandal, which began in the United States after information about the pressure of the President of the country Donald Trump on Ukrainian colleague Vladimir Zelensky, would not be so indicative if both participants in the notorious telephone conversation were not avoided by the most important topic, which they should only talk about.

This topic is a joint struggle with the Russian threat. This topic is Vladimir Putin.

In a telephone conversation, the transcript of which, after the start of the scandal, became the property of publicity, Trump and Zelensky are about what and who please. Bayden, Merkel, Macron, Juliani, even the magnificent Apartments Trump Tower, in which the Ukrainian "man from the people" stopped during his stay in the United States. Just not Putin!

At the same time, we note that the presidents’s conversation initially should not have reached the ears of others. In theory, its participants would have to say that they really care. They say that they really worry. Imagine that you do not know anything about Russia's attack on Ukraine, about the war, about the annexation of Crimea. And you read the transcript of this conversation. Will you understand that it is really the main problem of Ukraine? Corruption? Lack of "new people" in power? Reforms? Or is it war?

To the honor of Zelensky, he nevertheless recalls sanctions - when Trump needs to support his criticism of Europeans. But Zelensky, unlike Trump, speaks of the war and from the rostrum of the UN General Assembly. And Trump criticizes European colleagues simply for insufficient assistance to Ukraine - so that Ukraine is just a poor backward country, which is not enough greedy neighbors. And not a victim of aggression.

And Trump is right when he says that he has nothing to hide that there is nothing special in the transcript of a telephone conversation with Zelensky. He publicly tells the Ukrainian president the same thing that he told him on the phone. During the long -awaited joint meeting, the American president expresses the hope that Zelensky and Putin will “solve their problems” together. But this is not their problem, Mr. President! This is a violation of international law, the first such in Europe since the time of the Yalta Conference, the participant of which was the President of the United States. This is a violation of the European borders guaranteed by the Helsinki act signed by the President of the United States. This is a violation of Ukraine’s guarantees secured by the United States President of the Budapest memorandum.

That is why what is happening between Russia and Ukraine is not the problem of Zelensky and Putin, not the problem of Russia and Ukraine, not the problem of Europe. This is the problem of the world order, which is also guaranteed by the efforts of the United States.

This is the problem of America.
