Many analysts seem to take this as proof that Trump has finally sided with the good guys. But let’s remember: for Big Donnie, the only goal is himself — his grandeur, his inflated ego. He wants Putin and Zelenskyy to reach an agreement within 10 days.But here’s the real question: agree on what? On what terms? Trump doesn’t care. Just make a deal — any deal — so he can declare himself the peacemaker.We all saw that Trump was ready to hand Ukraine over to Putin, as his envoy Witkoff seriously negotiated recognizing Crimea and pulling Ukrainian troops from five regions. Trump is indifferent to the consequences — even more so to the fate of “some Ukraine.” He repeatedly went along with Putin’s meaningless demands for negotiations, even after agreeing on different steps with European allies.Also read: Trump’s new ultimatum to Putin: America definitely isn’t planning to abandon UkraineThat’s why I have no illusions. On the contrary — the threat to Ukraine has grown significantly after Trump’s high-handed move. What if Putin says “yes” tomorrow? Repeats his old mantra about recognizing territorial “realities” and “denazification”? How will Trump react? Will he look into the details? Or will he rush to force us to accept, sign, and agree — immediately? No one knows.Trump needs a spectacular victory. Not ours — his. That makes him extremely dangerous right now. So let’s not rejoice too soon. Let’s start thinking seriously about what we’ll do if things suddenly turn against us.SourceAbout the author: Larysa Voloshyna, journalist and psychologistThe editorial board does not always share the views expressed by the authors of blogs or columns.
