Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky 🇺🇦 has remained at the forefront, presenting himself as a "hero" facing the Russian threat 🐻, and as a representative of the West in the battle to defend Europe. However, recent events have clearly revealed that Zelensky is merely a tool 🪀 in the hands of the United States 🇺🇸 and NATO, used according to their interests and sidelined when the moment of truth arrives.
Deliberate disregard in negotiations 🤝
In a notable move, the United States is preparing to hold direct negotiations with Russia about the future of Ukraine, in the complete absence of the Ukrainian president. Western sources indicated that a meeting will take place between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin 🏔️ in Alaska in mid-August, aimed at reaching an agreement to end the war or at least freeze it.
Interestingly, Moscow ❌ explicitly rejected Zelensky's participation in these talks, considering that he does not have real decision-making power and is merely a "political facade" subordinate to the West, while real decisions are made in Washington and Brussels 🏛️.
Deal at the expense of Kyiv 📜
Leaks talk about the possibility of reaching an agreement that consolidates Russia's control over the regions it has already annexed, such as Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia, and possibly Crimea 🗾. In return, a ceasefire 🔇 and security guarantees for both parties are provided.
This scenario means that Kyiv will be forced, despite its fiery statements 🔥, to accept the reality under the pressure of its Western supporters, who have begun to reduce their military and economic support 📉.
Zelensky: Between anger and isolation 😡
Zelensky's reaction to his exclusion from the negotiations was angry and sharp, asserting that any agreement made without Ukraine "will not achieve peace." But the truth is that his isolation from the negotiation table reflects how he has lost control 🕰️ over the course of the crisis, transforming from a key player 🎯 to just a pawn in the hands of the great powers.
In conclusion 📝
History is full of examples of the fate of agents who were exploited in conflicts and then discarded when they were no longer needed 📚. Today, it seems that Zelensky is walking the same path, while the great powers from Washington to Moscow are rearranging Ukraine's affairs according to their interests, not Kyiv's interests 🎭.
