Trump is the Only One Who Wants a Ceasefire. Russia Wants to Win This War –Mark Sleboda (Rachel Blevins)

Zelensky called his White House meeting with Trump on Friday “regrettable” and said he’s ready to move on and sign a deal giving the U.S. access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. But he stopped short of apologizing for his conduct.

This, after Trump suggested that Zelensky “won’t be around very long” if he doesn’t agree to a ceasefire deal with Russia aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that Trump may actually be the only one who wants a ceasefire for Ukraine, as Moscow wants to keep fighting until it completes its objectives and wins the war; and Zelensky can’t seem to accept the fact that he is NOT winning, so he wants to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian.



Good conversation about the war. The Russians do not want a frozen conflict that will simply start up again years later. Any settlement, through force of arms, or political, will HAVE to be on their terms which means the demilitarisation of Ukraine, neutrality plus the loss of their Eastern and Southern territories. Those that want the war to continue will find that it'll end with a Russian military victory as Ukraine runs out of soldiers. They can save lives by agreeing to the terms. 30 mins.
