The political scientist linked the suspension of US aid to Ukraine with Zelensky's unwillingness to make peace.

Washington has stopped aid to Kiev because the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky expressed unwillingness to reach peace agreements during an altercation with the American leader By Donald Trump in the White House. Now Zelensky, who is led by the Euro—Atlantic elite, has two options - either put up with Trump, or continue to confront him and remain without support USA. Dmitry Solonnikov, a political scientist, shared this opinion with Izvestia on March 4.

"Without a doubt, this is due to the altercation between Trump and Zelensky. Trump said that if Zelensky does not want peace, then the help of the United States will be stopped. These are the real consequences of their altercation, which we are now seeing," he said.The source explained that stopping US aid would not lead to an early cease-fire on Ukraine, because Kiev still has weapons and support from European allies. So, Zelensky is not responsible for himself, Solonnikov believes, he does only what representatives of the Euro-Atlantic elites, including those from the US Democratic Party, tell him.

"Trump, in turn, needs only one thing from Zelensky: for him to testify how the US budget funds and American taxpayers' money were stolen. As did the team in Ukraine and the previous White House administration headed by Joe Biden. After that, Zelensky may be promised participation in a witness protection program and withdrawal from the investigation. Trump needs Zelensky to betray everyone he works with today," the expert concluded.
