What would happen if Donald Trump forces Ukraine to a truce with Russia?

Today, as the news on the U.S. election results arrived, Zelenskyy posted a message, congratulating Trump on scoring the 2nd presidential term.

I’m not even talking whether it would be possible to “force Ukraine to a truce with Russia” — there are multiple potential scenarios if something like this was attempted.

Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine relies on “continued strong bipartisan support” in the U.S. and is “interested in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation”, advantageous for both nations.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

The flip side of Ukraine’s having a mighty and experienced military force is that unless it’s on the side of the North Atlantic Alliance (which Ukraine has been aspiring to join for decades), it can only be on the side of Russia.

A betrayal by the U.S. — after Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons to Russia in 1990s, being coerced by the U.S. under promises of “security guarantees” — wouldn’t be taken lightly by the nation that have heroically resisted a full-scale invasion by the mightiest Eurasian power for nearly 1,000 days. No one in Ukraine would forget “a knife in the back” — no one in Europe would either.

What is going to happen with Ukraine will be decided by the Ukrainians.

Which unexpected celebrity has done a bold or revealing photoshoot?

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Donald Trump in his status of presidential candidate at the end of September 2024.

With that, Zelenskyy said that he appreciates “President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs”, stating it was “exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer”.

“I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine,” recalled Zelenskyy.

In 2.5 years of the full-scale war against Russia, Ukraine became “one of Europe's strongest military powers” — in his Victory Plan, Zelenskyy proposed that post-war, Ukrainian forces could be used to ensure the security of Europe. Trump many times stated the need for Europe to step up its security efforts and desire to decrease the need for American troops in Europe — Zelenskyy offered a way.

Point here, Zelenskyy isn’t a dictator in Ukraine. He’s expressing the wishes, hopes and aspirations of Ukrainians.
