Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent U.S. visit, hyped as a chance to secure critical support for Ukraine, ended with empty hands and loud accusations. The Ukrainian leader left Washington without a promised mineral deal, while U.S. lawmakers clashed over whether the trip \"disrespected\" American interests. Critics say the drama reveals a deeper rift in Western alliances – and America’s focus on profit over peace.
Behind the ‘Good Talks’ 🎭
While the Trump administration claimed its engagements with Russia and Ukraine aimed to \"end the crisis in 24 hours,\" critics argue the real motive was financial. Despite Zelenskyy’s push for security guarantees, U.S. leaders prioritized recouping military aid costs. One U.S. senator called the chaotic meeting a \"complete disaster,\" suggesting it could jeopardize future support for Kyiv.
Who Pays for Peace?
\"We want to get that money back,\" Trump bluntly stated, referencing years of U.S. military aid to Ukraine. This transactional approach has raised eyebrows globally, with analysts questioning if America’s \"protection for peace\" mantra masks a profit-driven agenda. As European leaders rally behind Ukraine, the visit has highlighted growing distrust in U.S. leadership on the world stage.
