Зеленський announced the attempts of США to persuade Ukraine to surrender to Russia

The President of України Володимир Зеленський believes that the latest decisions and actions of the Presidential Administration США Дональда Трампа look like attempts to persuade Kiev to capitulate to Russia.

Зеленський заявив про спроби США схилити Україну до капітуляції перед росією. Президент розповів про затримки постачання Patriot, обмеження Starlink та тиск через удари по НПЗ рф.

The president said this in an interview with Bloomberg.

Зеленський said about a number of unfriendly steps of Washington towards Kiev. In particular, we are talking about the deliberate speed limit Starlink, important for the Ukrainian military and the delay in the supply of scarce interceptor missiles for Patriot systems.

«Я вважаю, що були зроблені кроки, щоб переконати Україну капітулювати», the president said.

At the same time, he stressed that he does not claim that США deliberately seek to end the war at the cost of Ukraine. However, according to him, the situation looks exactly like this.

Адміністрація Трампа demands that Ukraine stop attacks on Russian НПЗ, explaining this by the impact of attacks on fuel prices, in particular diesel.

In response, Зеленський proposed its agreement: Ukraine stops attacks on Russian fuel production facilities, and США increases the supply of missiles for Patriot systems necessary to protect Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine has already paid for weapons, but not all deliveries have agreed to США. Нині Київ receives about 12 Patriot interceptor missiles per month - about four times less than under the administration of Джо Байдена.

Bloomberg recalls that tensions between Kiev and Washington have intensified after Trump’s agreements with the path to Russian diesel.

We will remind, earlier Зеленський made a statement that the speed limit Starlink on the territory of Ukraine is intentional. According to him, due to the established limit to 161 km/h Ukrainian drones-interceptors jet БПЛА can not fully work.

Meanwhile, the American leader Дональд Трамп said that Володимир Зеленський is «не та людина, з якою варто домовлятися», adding that it is much easier to find a common language with the Russian dictator Putin.

Earlier, in a comment to «Слово і діло», the political scientist, director of the Center for Social and Information Technologies «Форум» Валерій Димов noted that Ukraine should not stop striking at the Russian oil infrastructure under pressure of США, since this can weaken the position of Kiev and leave it without guarantees of further military assistance. At the same time, the continuation of attacks gives Ukraine the opportunity to defend its own interests in negotiations.
