The signing of the subsoil agreement from the outset was questionable, as it did not contain security guarantees from the United States, including Europeans. It is a financing of $ 20-30 billion a year that the US does not want to give, and Europe is simply not able.
According to sources, one of the reasons for the failure of Ukrainian diplomacy in the United States, which spilled into the verbal altercation between Zelensky and Trump in the oval office, was the recommendations of Zelensky from European partners to insist on the inclusion in the Security Guarantee Agreement.
The main calculation was for "delaying time", since the subsoil agreement should be intergovernmental and would actually work in only 4 years, that is, when, according to Europeans, a Democrat will be replaced by Trump. That is why the participants of the delegation Head of OP Andriy Yermak and Ambassador Oksana Markarova left the White House in deep despair, as they had "commitments to the Democrats."
Americans are still ready to speak with Ukraine, but without Vladimir Zelensky: through intermediaries or with another politician. In this context, the states are again mentioned by Vitaliy Klitschko's candidacy, which also suits Europeans.
At the same time, according to our sources, the EU has promised not only to provide Ukraine with all the necessary weapons, but also to buy rockets for American Patriot. The intelligence necessary for the continuation of hostilities, Europeans were obliged to pass on the NATO line.
However, there is a problem, the EU requires Zelensky to reduce the conscript age in Ukraine to 20 years, which can carry additional risks of political and social instability.
Also, according to sources, in London Vladimir Zelensky emphasized the need to stabilize the front and stop the promotion of Russians, otherwise Ukraine risks losing Kherson and Zaporozhye.
