Trump’s threat makes the Ukraine metal deal seem to move the work

Ukraine began today with, once, diplomatic winds in sails.

She finally agreed to a “frame” metal deal with Washington. An agreement would see the United States investing in the recovery of Ukraine, in exchange for a share of future profits of the country from its natural resources, energy, oil and gas infrastructure.

There was also a first round of peace talks between US, European and Ukrainian officials in Paris, which was welcomed as “positive”.

It was even both US President Donald Trump and Minister of Abroad threatened Until progress appeared quickly.

It was hoped for by Ukraine to translate the growing patience of America with Russia into the imposition of other sanctions on Moscow. Instead, the US threat is washing its hands from the ongoing peace efforts that fits the Kremlin more than Kiev.

The consensus is that the collective weight of Ukraine and its European allies will remain caffeine to counter Russian aggression in the long run. Although it continues to seek to overcome and occupy the largest possible amount of Ukraine, Moscow claims that it is still striving for peace.

What she has done is to launch some of the bloodiest strikes on civilians in recent days. In Kharkif in the northeast, more than 100 people were injured and one person was killed after three housing parts were hit.

But these attacks did not bring the slightest condemnation from the White House, which continued to use more stick with Kyiv, by stopping military aid, and islands with Moscow, by improving relations, to obtain the two sides reflecting its appetite for peace.

Kiev agreed to a full ceasefire after the United States stopped its military aid and intelligence participation. Moscow has not bend from its maximum requirements for more Ukrainian lands and prolonging President Folodimir Zelinsky. It is difficult to see how this threat will make a breakthrough.

On the quiet open water of the Black Sea, mykhailo leads the marine -made patrol ship in the United States. While we stand in the bridge, I ask him whether he feels that he is fighting for Europe, as well as his country.

“If Russia occupies all Ukraine, then who knows?” He answers. “Within 10 or 15 years, Russia will go to Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, that is, from the Baltic countries, and this is completely clear.”

US military aid to Ukraine will gradually run out. More beams will not be placed in front of Congress or opened by the presidential powers.

If Washington turns its back into these peace efforts, it will leave Ukraine to rely on its European allies to confront Russia’s ongoing invasion of Russia. The consensus is that this group weight will not be long in the long run.

On this extension of the coastal coast, which is controlled by Ukrainian Kyiv has a success story. By launching locally produced western aircraft, Russia’s fleet was forced to return, and a major shipping lane was restored.

But the problem of defending the forces, as President Zelinski, admits, are the facts of the battlefield that is lost on a broader audience.

Although the United States and Ukraine are approaching this metal deal, the Trump administration’s threat makes it look like a commercial project.

It also asks greater questions about whether Washington is interested in controlling Ukraine in the long run, as long as American commercial interests are protected.
