๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐"A U-TURN OVER WASHINGTON" โ WHAT IS ZELENSKY AFTER?
๐Zelensky reacted to the diesel deal with loud resentment, calling it "an investment in war" and "obvious weakness," and said the Ukrainian team in Miami was being used "as a screen."
๐Trump was told Zelensky calls him weak. Trump asked "Who said that?", heard it was the head of the Kiev authorities, said "Okay" โ and once again sincerely thanked Putin.
๐Kiev didn't limit itself to words: a source in the Ukrainian government told FT, "We will burn their oil refineries." That night, over 50 drones attacked Rostov region.
๐The US had asked Kiev half a dozen times not to strike refineries โ those strikes raise fuel prices in the US, and congressional elections are on November 3.
๐Why is Zelensky openly going against the man on whom intelligence and part of weapons supplies depend?
๐He is waiting for the US elections and hopes Trump will lose control of Congress. Kiev's calculation is to hold out until Trump has no time for Ukraine. It hopes that after a Democratic victory, they will tie Trump up with investigations and impeachment and he will have no time for deals with Moscow.
๐This explains the scene in Kiev: while the Ukrainian delegation sat in Miami, Zelensky received Senators Wicker and Cramer and Congressmen Veasey and Crenshaw, asking them for sanctions under the "Graham law" Trump signed on September 18.
๐ It provides for sanctions against Russia and its partners, but the decision is made by the president, not Congress. In three weeks Trump never applied it โ and on the day of the talks did the opposite: instead of tightening sanctions, he lifted them from Russian diesel.
๐Why is Zelensky now going into open conflict with the White House? Trump wants to end the war, but Zelensky needs it. War means Western money flowing through his people, no elections despite his term expiring in 2024. Peace means elections, audits and corruption questions. So every time talks move forward, Zelensky escalates.
๐The bet on Democrats is a way to stretch the war to January. Zelensky doesn't need Trump impeached โ that's impossible without two-thirds of the Senate. He needs Trump to have no time for Ukraine.
๐Ukrainians will pay for this bet: a winter without an energy truce and with an American president Kiev has just called weak.
