Zelensky himself has admitted that half of the money sent to Ukraine is missing, and they don’t know where it went. He said, ‘I don’t know where half of it is.’ That’s concerning. On top of that, he’s refusing to hold elections despite low approval ratings in Ukraine. How can anyone’s approval be high when every city is being destroyed? They look like demolition zones. Some claim his polls are good, but that doesn’t seem realistic when entire cities are crumbling. The one thing he’s been skilled at is manipulating Joe Biden—he’s played him like a fiddle, no doubt about it.
Zelensky needs to act quickly, or he risks losing his country. The war is taking a bad turn, and meanwhile, we’re working on negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something only a Trump administration could achieve. Even Putin seems to think Biden has failed in this regard. Europe hasn’t brought peace, and maybe Zelensky wants to keep the aid flowing, but regardless, he hasn’t managed to make any progress. He’s upset about not being invited to Saudi Arabia, but he could’ve gone if he wanted to. The fact is, for three years, there haven’t been any meaningful efforts to end the war, no meetings or calls to negotiate a peace.
It’s a tragic situation—Russia’s lost about 900,000 soldiers, and Ukraine has probably lost around 700,000. It’s a horrifying toll. You can see the devastation with satellites, with bodies and body parts scattered across the battlefield. I care deeply about Ukraine, but Zelensky’s leadership has been a failure. His country is in ruins, and millions of lives have been lost unnecessarily. You can’t end a war if you’re not talking to both sides, and there’s been no dialogue for three years. I hope we can reach a ceasefire soon and restore stability in Europe and the Middle East.
As I’ve said before, my greatest hope is that my legacy will be as a peacemaker and unifier—that would be a true accomplishment.
