Trump: ‘Impotent’ Europeans can only fume as Trump rightly sidelines them from Ukraine deal
"Impotent Europeans" can only be angry as they are rightly excluded from the Ukraine deal, US President Donald Trump said.
“Impotent Europeans can only fume as Trump rightly sidelines them from Ukraine deal … ” Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social, reposting a column in the New York Post.
The column noted that when it comes to the war in Ukraine, Europeans have upended the way governments are usually conducted. It also noted that the war is a dead end and reminded that in February it will be four years since the full-scale invasion, and if it continues, Russia could allegedly win.
“The firm of Witkoff, Rubio & Kushner proposed a 28-point peace plan that could secure American interests, stabilize relations with Russia and strike a new balance of power. Under the deal, Ukraine retains its sovereignty and can join the European Union,” the message reads.
At the same time, Russia retains Ukraine's eastern borders, which were Russian-speaking before the war, as well as Crimea, which Russia has held since 2014, and its important Black Sea ports.
The column notes that neither Ukraine will join NATO nor will NATO send troops to Ukraine, but Ukraine will have NATO security guarantees, and its regular army will be more than twice the size of its pre-war size, making it an advantageous buffer state.
It also notes that Russia has a larger population than Ukraine, and as long as Ukraine relies on foreign aid, Russia will remain in a state of war.
“No peace deal means more war — a war the Europeans cannot support alone, and that Ukraine cannot win. Europe’s obstruction of Trump’s deal is a gift to Putin,” the ezine said.
