The United States will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine, and not on returning territories occupied by the Russian Federation, Trump’s adviser said.
The return of Crimea to Ukrainian control is unrealistic. Therefore, Kyiv “should focus on peace, not on territories.” This is what the adviser of the newly elected US President Brian Lanza said, the BBC reported on Saturday, November 9.
Trump’s adviser since 2016 and the GOP strategist noted that the Trump administration will ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to present his version of a “realistic worldview.”
“And if President Zelensky sits at the negotiating table and says that we can achieve peace only if we have Crimea, he will show us that he is not serious about it… When Zelensky says that we will stop these wars, the peace that that. coming only when Crimea is returned, we have news for President Zelensky: Crimea is gone… And if your priority is to return Crimea and force American soldiers to fight to return Crimea, then you are on your own . to myself,” Lanza said.
According to him, “the return of Crimea to Ukraine is unrealistic” and not the goal of the United States.
Trump’s adviser said he has great respect for the Ukrainian people, describing them as having “the heart of a lion.” But, he said, the US priority is “peace and stopping the killing.”
“We want to say to Ukraine: you know what you see? What you see as a realistic vision of the world. It is not a vision of victory, but it is a vision of peace. And let’s start an honest – talk,” he said.
Trump’s adviser also criticized the support given by the Biden-Harris administration and European countries to Ukraine following Russia’s massive invasion in February 2022.
“The truth on the ground is that the European states and President Biden did not give Ukraine the opportunity and weapons to win this war from the very beginning, and they failed to remove the restrictions for Ukraine to win,” said said Lanza.
Trump’s adviser emphasized that the new administration will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine, and not on returning territories occupied by Russia.
As you know, during the election campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to quickly end the war in Ukraine. He explained that he knows the leaders of Ukraine and Russia very well.
Zelensky said he believes Trump wants a quick end to the war, but it could mean losses for Ukraine.
