There have been new changes in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with the Ukrainian army losing 2,025 people overnight, and important defensive lines have collapsed. Zelensky was frightened and publicly called on Trump to come up with a ceasefire plan, emphasizing that he did not want to wait until November, this is to end the conflict within this year?
In recent days, there have been important changes in the conflict in Russia. On the Kharkiv side, the Ukrainian army's counteroffensive gradually stalled, and the Russian army ended its defense and began to attack the positions of the Ukrainian army. And in the Chasov Yar direction, the Russian army made an important breakthrough and captured a key area, thereby storming the main city of Chasov Yar. At the same time, the Russian army also made progress on the Dzerzhinsk front, bypassing the rear of the Ukrainian defense line through a tunnel. Seeing the sudden appearance of the Russian army, the morale of the Ukrainian army collapsed, and many troops retreated. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army has lost 2025 people.
Seeing that the situation on the frontal battlefield is becoming more and more unfavorable, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky can't sit still. According to a report by the global network, on July 3, local time, Zelensky publicly called out former US President Trump and asked the latter to come up with a ceasefire plan. Zelensky said that since Trump said that "as long as he wins the election, he will end the Russia-Ukraine conflict", then hurry up with a specific plan and don't wait for the end of the US election in November to reveal the details. The reason why Zelensky called Trump is because the latter suppressed the current US President Joe Biden in the first televised debate. The Democrats have considered a "substitution" to pit the new presidential candidate against Trump. Seeing these circumstances, Zelensky realized that Trump was likely to return to the White House, so he had to prepare in advance.
However, it should be pointed out that given that the Russian army has the initiative on the battlefield in Ukraine, if it wants to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible, it can only reach a plan that satisfies Russia, not a plan that Ukraine will agree to. The conditions of the Russian side are very simple, that is, the Ukrainian army will withdraw from the 4 eastern regions of Ukraine that have been openly thrown into Russia, and Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO. The conditions for Russia are unacceptable to the Kiev authorities, and it is difficult for European countries to agree. Therefore, although Trump said that "I will end the Russia-Ukraine conflict immediately when I take office", he clearly rejected this condition offered by Russia. It is possible, then, that Trump will have a direct dialogue with Putin, to bargain.
Of course, in Trump's style, he may not have a ceasefire plan at all, and the first thing he did when he came to power was to stop all aid to Ukraine, and moreover, he demanded compensation from the Kiev authorities for all these years of assistance. Trump is not a traditional American politician, he is a wealthy businessman, he only cares about monetary interests when looking at any problem, Trump actually doesn't care about the situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, he only cares about whether the United States spends money and earns money.
Some analysts believe that Ukraine's fate is in fact doomed, and their best strategy is to find a balance between the United States and the West and Russia, not to cut off from Russia, but not to get too close to the West. However, the Kyiv authorities are completely tilted towards the West, and even the training of the army, the intelligence system, the command are docked with NATO, completely standing on the opposite side of Russia. When Ukraine handed over military power to NATO, Russia had no other choice. As for the United States, their real purpose in provoking the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is to plunge Ukraine into long-term chaos and become a "cancer" between Russia and Europe. The continued chaos in Ukraine will tear Russia and Europe apart and maximize the interests of the United States. Therefore, even if Trump comes up with a ceasefire plan, it is likely to be a "picky" plan.
