The real meaning of the Zelensky summit was not as it appeared.

As everyone who caught some of the news of the day, US President Donald Trump, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and NATO, the European Union, England and several European countries discussed a possible land exchange and security guarantees that could end the Russian-Ukraine war at the White House. But did they really do it?

Let’s think of the word “negotiation .. According to popular words, all wars end with it, but rarely the aggressive comes to the table that demands not to really control it. Usually, those who fight discuss which military gains should be formalized and which ones should be reversed. However, Vladimir Putin demanded more land than Russia’s full -scale invasion began to control its army since it started. During the summit of Trump in Alaska on Friday, Putin seems to have given a small privilege: he still demands more land than he occupies, but not as much as he demanded. But less are still more.

So let’s talk about “land swap”. This statement refers to Putin’s proposal to buy a piece of Ukraine in exchange for not threatening a larger part of the Ukraine. This is not what we normally think of as a trade. This is what we think as a usurpation.

In addition, let’s talk about the word “earth” or “earth ğı collected by the leaders at the White House on Monday. Zelensky referred to a map to facilitate the discussion of the “region .. Trump promised him to get a copy.

However, the “region olmayan is not a draft on a map. Cities, towns and villages where people still live – even now close to the front. Before the full -scale invasion, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk populations demanded two Ukraine cities in Putin, which were 200,000 and 100,000 respectively. Right now we don’t know how many people have lived there – some people have definitely escaped, some came from the occupied areas, some died – but the number is almost absolutely absolutely and probably hundreds of thousands of people.

To propose to leave the land to Russia, to subjected these inhabitants to Russian occupation – to propose to exchanges in other cities – or forcibly replacement – or torture. It would be a crime – a crime that Trump wants Zelensky to be a criminal partner.

This type of negotiation is not similar to expanding. In February 1945, the Soviet Union, the leaders of the United States and the UK came together in Yalta-a city in Soviet Russia, then a city in Ukraine, a city in the occupied Russia in the Crimea. To negotiate the end of World War II. In addition to other things, Josef Stalin asked the Soviet Kamchatka about the Kuril Islands extending to the shores of Japan.

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill agreed to allow the Soviets to have the Kurils. The islands would give – the Kuriller belonged to Japan – but they would take it. Six months later, with the support of the US army, the Soviet troops took control of the islands and deported the Japanese inhabitants.
