War

A thousand ninety -second days. Trump against Zelensky

Medusa from February 24, 2022 lives on the Russian-Ukrainian war on the air. In our daily materials, we publish your letters, because we are sure: we must continue to talk about the war. Russia and the United States held negotiations - without the participation of Ukraine and Europe. What do you feel about it? Is it correct from Washington to discuss the end of the war in the absence of representatives of Kyiv? Or any dialogue that can potentially contribute to the ceasefire - is it already good in itself? Look for a feedback form at the end of this article. A review of the previous day can be read here .

Trump accuses Zelensky. Zelensky - Trump

US President Donald Trump on the evening of February 18 made a strict criticism of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky (after Zelensky himself criticized negotiations in Saudi Arabia).

Trump recalled that in Ukraine there were no elections for a long time and actually accused Zelensky of usurpation of the authorities, saying that the country's population did not support him. The narrative of Zelensky’s illegitimacy has been using Moscow for several months (in Ukraine itself, even the opposition does not share this point of view).

We have a situation where there were no elections in Ukraine, when in Ukraine, in fact, martial law. When the leader of Ukraine, I mean, is unpleasant for me to say this, but his approval rating is 4%. The country is torn to shreds, most cities are destroyed. The buildings are destroyed. It looks like a huge demolition site.

Trump also said that Ukraine “could agree” with Russia for three years of full -scale war. In his opinion, the “half -dead” negotiator could achieve the settlement of the conflict many years ago “without loss of a significant part of the Earth”.

Zelensky in response criticized the Trump administration for “softening politics” against Russia, in particular, reproaching Washington for the use of the terms “violation of territorial integrity” and “conflict” instead of the word “war”.

On the afternoon of February 19, Trump subjected Zelensky even more sharply criticism - in the post on the social network Truth Special, he said that the US President “persuaded” the United States to spend $ 350 billion on a war “which could not be won and which should not have begun.”

Dictator without elections. It is better to hurry to Zelensky, otherwise he will have no country left. Meanwhile, we are successfully negotiating the end of the war with Russia, and everyone admits that only Trump and the Trump administration can do this. Biden never tried, Europe could not lead to the world, and Zelensky probably wants the “financial stream” to continue. I love Ukraine, but Zelensky coped poorly, his country was destroyed, and millions of people died in vain - and this continues.

Trump did not specify where he got the data. The fact that the rating of the approval of Zelensky is 4% (the Ukrainian president himself suggested that they are based on information from Russia). After Trump's statements, the Kyiv International Institute for Sociology (KMIS) published the data of the next measurement of the rating of the popularity of Zelensky. They emphasized that they did this earlier than planned, precisely against the background of Russian-American negotiations and discussions about the “illegitimacy” of the president.

If individual international union partners worry about the legitimacy of the president in the context of possible peace negotiations and consider it appropriate to insist on the elections, then from the point of view of Ukrainian citizens themselves there are no problems, the current president and power are quite legitimate to conduct difficult negotiations, and the elections should be after completion War and at least Ukraine obtaining reliable security guarantees.

Sociologists said that on a survey conducted on February 4-9, he showed that 57% of respondents trust the president, and not trust-37%. The CMS emphasized that confidence indicators improved slightly compared to the last survey conducted in December 2024, when 52%trusted Zelensky and did not trust - 39%. The confidence rating of Zelensky, sociologists said, is positive in all parts of Ukraine.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Lilia (Ufa). I believe that this [meeting in Riyadh] is in any case good news, and I am glad that at least talk about the stop of war began. Even if this is not on the most fair conditions for both sides, it is better than the continuation of bloodshed.

I am sure that if it were possible to interview all soldiers from both sides, all those inhabitants whom the war was directly touched, all [they] would be glad to any world. I am sure that they all want to live their usual calm peaceful life, and they don’t care what, where, and what will be called. I know that the President of the Russian Federation may be in a winning position. Yes, it's a shame. Yes, he will decide that he beat everyone, that he was stronger, smarter, more cunning and achieved everything. But I think that well, let it be, the main thing is that people stop dying. And the rest of the time will put in place, nothing forever on Earth.
