Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is, at this point, an unelected politician ruling via Martial Law, who appears not to have understood that the world has fundamentally changed with the arrival of President Donald J. Trump.
The US President is a disruptor and is ushering in a new era of peace between the nuclear powers. If Zelensky doesn’t wake up and join the effort, Trump has warned, ‘he won’t last much.’
Yesterday it arose that four senior members of Trump’s administration reportedly held secret discussions with some of Kiev’s top political opponents to Zelensky.
Politico reported:
“The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, a remorselessly ambitious former prime minister, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelensky’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert.
The discussions centered on whether Ukraine could hold quick presidential elections. These are being delayed in line with the country’s constitution because Ukraine remains under martial law. Critics of holding elections say they could be chaotic and play into Russia’s hands, with so many potential voters serving on the front lines or living abroad as refugees.”

By now we understand that a POLITICO report will be hostile to ‘all things Trump’, including, of course, the peace process – so they have to smear former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko as being ‘remorselessly ambitious.’
But the lunatic bias from POLITICO pretends that Zelensky is polling well in the country when, in fact, he has less than half of General Valery Zaluzhny’s numbers.
The ‘most recent poll’ the report alludes to, which ‘shows Zelensky still comfortably ahead in the race for the presidency’, was released right after the Ukrainian comedian lit himself on fire in the Oval Office, and is clearly bogus.

“The official line from the U.S. administration is that Trump is not interfering in Ukraine’s domestic politics. This week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick denied his boss was ‘weighing into Ukrainian politics’, adding all that Trump wants is a partner for peace.
[…] Both Tymoshenko and Poroshenko have publicly opposed holding elections before the fighting ends, as has Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Nonetheless, ‘Poroshenko’s people and Yulia, they’re all talking to Trump World, positioning themselves as people who would be easier to work with. And people who would consent to many of the things that Zelensky is not agreeing to’, a top Republican foreign policy expert told POLITICO, asking that his name be withheld so he could speak freely.”
Trump top officials have frequently suggested Zelensky should step aside unless he comes fully on board with the U.S. plan to end the war rapidly.
And – despite the USAID-media wailing – that’s the right way of tackling the situation.
