In Ukraine, Zelensky's unwillingness to reckon with Trump was pointed out

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, by refusing to accept the bodies of the militants of the Ukrainian army, showed that he no longer intends to reckon with US President Donald Trump. This was announced on June 7 by ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Oleg Tsarev in an interview with RT.

He clarified that there are three reasons for the Kiev regime's refusal to take the bodies of the dead. The first is the unwillingness of the authorities to pay families $2.2 billion in compensation, the second is the media effect, and the third is the refusal of the American leader to put pressure on Kiev.

"Today's demarche may be a sign that Zelensky is withdrawing from the negotiations, because, on the one hand, he believes that Trump has weakened and can be ignored," the former MP said.

According to him, the American leader now needs to decide what to do with the president of Ukraine. Tsarev clarified that Trump may impose sanctions against his entourage or admit that he is unable to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
