Erikoisia käänteitä näyttää eilen olleen. Jos nyt tuosta CNN:n analyysistä oikein käsitin, Zelenskyi odotti tapaavansa Trumpin/USAn edustajan ennen kuin neuvottelut putinin kanssa alkaisivat ja että eilen olisi odottanut keskustelevansa näistä tulevista neuvotteluista, mutta Kiovaan saapuikin USA:n Valtiovarainminsteri Besset 'taloudellinen sopimus' kainalossaan, jonka tulkitsisin itse jonkinlaiseksi kaivosdiiiliksi tai vastaavaksi. Kun allekirjoitusta ei saatu paperiin heti, USA:n puolustusministeri ilmoitti kantansa että Ukraina ei tule saamaan maa-aluitaan takaisin eikä sillä ole mahdollisuutta NATO- jäsenyyteen ja samalla kerrottiin että Trump on jo neuvotellut putinin kanssa. No, myöhemmin illalla ja tänään selvinnyt että ei Trumpin ja putinin välisistä neuvotteluista ole tiennyt etukäteen Europassa ilmeisesti juuri kukaan, vaikka sellaisesta on huhuiltu tapahtuneen jo viimeviikon alusta lähtien.
"Yet Zelensky cut a reduced figure on stage alongside US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent on Wednesday in Kyiv. He had hoped to meet US President Donald Trump in person to discuss a wide-ranging vision of peace, after the US president suggested Friday they might meet imminently, and his team immediately set about trying to schedule it. Instead he was presented with what Zelenksy called “serious people” – and a largely financial deal handed over by Bessent, the US billionaire turned money-man, which he didn’t sign.
It was during Bessent’s brief visit that news broke Trump had been busy elsewhere: holding perhaps his second phone call in recent days with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump had said Saturday they had spoken earlier, but the Kremlin declined to confirm it."
