Zelenskyy and Trump’s meeting at the Vatican: expert emphasizes positive results
In his blog, the expert noted that Ukraine should thank the Vatican representatives for organizing this historic meeting in St. Peter’s Basilica. This was a unique opportunity.
He emphasized that the meeting took place in a personal setting. President Zelensky took the opportunity to clearly and convincingly convey Ukraine’s position to the world community, express points of principle, and emphasize Putin’s deception regarding his intentions. According to him, the Russian president does not want to stop the war, and decisive action is needed to achieve peace, because otherwise it will not work.
As a result, Trump published a post in which he noted that the attacks by Russian terrorists on Ukrainian cities do not make sense. The expert also noted that Trump, for the first time, openly doubted Putin’s peaceful intentions, pointing to possible manipulation on his part, which is an essential sign of pressure on Russia.
On the same day, Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Trump, said that 60 senators support imposing new sanctions against Russia. This number represents a majority in the upper house of Congress, indicating a profound change in the US position.
Thus, Oleksandr Musienko emphasized that there is a prospect of bipartisan support for a stricter policy towards Russia, which is already a significant signal.
