Zelensky’s Latest Tweetstorm Is Full Of Panic<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Zelensky fired off over a dozen paragraphs in his latest tweetstorm on Saturday afternoon that can be read in full\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He demanded the imposition of more sanctions against Russia\u2019s banking and energy sectors, complained about the \u201cwarm\u201d tone of the US-Russian dialogue, expressed worries about reduced aid, fearmongered about Russia\u2019s military-industrial complex, and pushed back against claims that he\u2019s oppressing Russians, Russian speakers, and Russian Orthodox Christians. He\u2019s clearly panicking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In the order that he made his points, the first one about sanctions alludes to the proposed bill to\u00a0impose 500% tariffs<\/a>\u00a0on Russia\u2019s energy clients, which would likely be applied towards China and India<\/strong> if passes with\u00a0waivers for EU countries<\/a>\u00a0(and probably only those that meet Trump\u2019s defense spending demands).\u00a0Politico<\/a>\u00a0warned that this could backfire against the US, however, while the Treasury Secretary\u00a0warned<\/a>\u00a0that it could undermine diplomatic efforts. It\u2019s thus little wonder that Zelensky is panicking about this.<\/p>\n

Moving along, Zelensky\u2019s complaints about the \u201cwarm\u201d tone of the US-Russian dialogue are a direct response to the Trump-Putin bonhomie<\/strong>, the latest manifestation of which saw\u00a0Putin calling Trump<\/a>\u00a0on Saturday to wish him happy birthday alongside discussing the latest phase of the Israeli-Iranian War. It\u2019s\u00a0still anyone\u2019s guess<\/a>\u00a0whether Trump will disengage from NATO\u2019s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine or double down on it, but judging by Zelensky\u2019s tweetstorm, he\u2019s taking the first possibility very seriously.<\/p>\n

This observation leads to the third point that he made about reduced US aid,<\/strong> which follows the Secretary of Defense\u00a0recently announcing<\/a>\u00a0such cuts in the next budget but without detailing how much they\u2019ll be. While it\u2019s possible to drastically scale up aid even in those conditions if the decision is made as proven by how much unplanned support the Biden Administration gave Ukraine in 2022, from Zelensky\u2019s perspective, the writing on the wall is that Trump is presently disinterested in doing this.<\/p>\n

His fourth point is the least disputable of the five since even the\u00a0New York Times<\/a>\u00a0admitted as far back as September 2023 that Russia is far ahead of NATO in the\u00a0\u201crace of logistics\u201d\/\u201cwar of attrition\u201d<\/a>.<\/strong> As could have been expected, Zelensky also fearmongered about Russia\u2019s intentions by implying that it might be\u00a0plotting to invade NATO<\/a>, but mostly everyone is numb to that narrative by now. It therefore probably won\u2019t be enough to convince the West, especially the US, to resume 2023-like levels of aid.<\/p>\n

And finally, the last point that he made in response to Russia\u2019s fact-based accusations that Ukraine is oppressing Russians,<\/strong> Russian speakers, and Russian Orthodox Christians is purely rhetorical and doesn\u2019t even attempt to respond to the substance of these claims, which exposes it as hollow and him as guilty. He\u2019s panicking because he fears that the\u00a0US might coerce Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0into changing its domestic policies as part of\u00a0Russia\u2019s denazification demand<\/a>\u00a0for peace if Trump truly wants to wash his hands of this conflict.<\/p>\n

Altogether, his tweetstorm says a lot about Ukraine\u2019s increasingly difficult position if one reads between the lines, with this being brought about by\u00a0Russia\u2019s arrival in Dnipropetrovsk<\/a>. Even if only some of what Zelensky is worried about comes to pass, especially reduced US aid and forthcoming American pressure upon Ukraine to comply with Russia\u2019s demands, then the conflict might end sooner than expected. <\/strong>To be sure, this can\u2019t be taken for granted, but it\u2019s realistic enough of a scenario to make Zelensky panic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
