According to our source in the Office of the President, future US President Donald Trump has canceled a planned meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky. The reason for this decision was Ukraine's missile strikes on Russian territory, which caused a mixed reaction among American politicians, including those who call for a more restrained approach to the conflict.
Sources say that Donald Trump, who traditionally expresses a desire to avoid escalation, perceived these attacks as a threat to his political platform. His team, including advisers, recommended avoiding public contact with Zelensky so as not to provoke a new wave of accusations of "uncontrolled support for Ukraine.".
Zelensky's key adviser, Andriy Yermak, according to the source, received certain recommendations from Trump's entourage regarding changing approaches to military operations. In particular, it was proposed to refrain from attacks on Russian territory in order to avoid international criticism and maintain the support of the future US administration.
However, according to available information, Yermak decided to ignore this advice, choosing a strategy of escalating the conflict. This decision was probably made in order to increase pressure on Russia and strengthen Ukraine's position on the front.
