"The Americans May Strike Through Ukraine."

How can Kiev take advantage of Trump's ultimatum?

This question Charter97.org asked Ukrainian political scientist and head of the Penta Center for Applied Political Research Vladimir Fesenko:

- The 50-day deadline is Trump's style. It's what's called "managed escalation." That's right, he's acting exactly the same way on tariffs. He's sending out "chain letters" right now and saying there will be tariffs of 25-30% across the board, but starting August 1. And you still have until August 1 to negotiate. And the same thing with China, he gave two or three months to negotiate before. So that's his style. When he put pressure on Iran, he gave it 60 days.

Many people laughed, but what happened in the end? A pinpoint strike on Iran. It is unlikely that Trump will strike Russia, but the talk about long-range missiles, and this information, which appeared that Trump allegedly asked Zelensky if he was ready to strike Moscow, I'll tell you, this is not accidental.

This is also a form of pressure. The Americans themselves will not strike, but they may strike through Ukraine. There are risks involved, of course. This is a very delicate subject, but 50 days is Trump's style. Give a deadline, but if there is no action, then there may be tougher decisions.

Another thing is that with a high probability, of course, Russia will not fulfill this ultimatum in order not to show weakness. If the methods of pressure, especially economic pressure, are serious enough, if the military situation can be stabilized and strikes on Russian territory are significant, I do not rule out that by the end of the year real negotiations may begin. But in the coming months we will see an escalation of hostilities.

Trump is showing: since Putin wants war, then we will help Ukraine to fight. This is logical, and it's very important for Ukraine. Whatever the reason for Trump's actions, the fact that he went along with them is certainly in line with Ukrainian interests.
