The profile Today in the Military World stated that Donald Trump had criticized Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he considered a difficult interlocutor, and blamed Zelensky, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama for the start of the war in Ukraine, without holding Vladimir Putin responsible. According to the profile, in the last two weeks, Trump had repeatedly attacked Zelensky and minimized Putin's role in the invasion. The profile also stated that Trump had announced a ceasefire on attacks on energy infrastructure, accepted by Russia and Ukraine. According to the publication, Zelensky immediately agreed, and Ukraine stopped attacking Russian refineries for four days, while Putin broke the agreement two hours later and, on the same day, attacked power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv. The publication attributed to analysts the assessment that Russia could not win the war at the current pace, which, according to them, could drag on for at least another ten years and cost another 5 or 6 million Russian lives. It added that Putin feared the political consequences of a general mobilization. It also stated that Putin would be trying to gain advantages while Trump still had autonomy, given the possibility of losing control of Congress and the Senate and becoming a "lame duck" president for the next two years. According to the profile, analysts pointed to billion-dollar gas, oil, and fuel deals as part of this strategy. The publication cited a diesel deal announced by Trump and a possible joint venture between the Russian government and American partners to sell gas through Nord Stream, which would be closed. It stated that the deal could yield at least $2 billion annually to the Witkoff, Kushner, and Trump families. The profile concluded that Trump's attacks on Zelensky and his support for Putin reflected, in its interpretation, Putin's attempt to take advantage of the military and political situation. https://t.co/NJCNSkF3G6 #Zelenskyy #Putin #GuerraUcrânia (translated)
