Crimea is lost: Donald Trump's adviser advised Kyiv to adopt a “realistic vision of the world”

If President Zelensky sits down at the negotiating table and says that peace is only possible if we return Crimea, he will show that he is not ready to talk seriously. We have news for President Zelensky — Crimea is lost. And if the main thing for you is to return Crimea and use American soldiers for this, then this is already without us“,” Brian Lanza noted, without mentioning other territories lost by Ukraine.

According to Lanza, the future Trump administration will focus specifically on achieving peace, and not on providing Ukraine with counter-offensive capabilities.

We will ask Ukraine what they see. What do they consider to be a realistic vision of the world? Not victory, but peace. Now let’s discuss this honestlyhe noted.

Lanza also criticized the Democratic administration’s policy in the Ukrainian direction. According to him, the situation on the battlefield shows that “the countries of Europe and the President [Джо] Biden did not provide Ukraine with the capabilities and weapons to win at the very beginning of the conflict, and also did not lift restrictions to allow Ukraine to win.

The BBC also quoted an unnamed representative from Zelensky’s office as saying he had a «good, lengthy conversation» with Trump that lasted «about half an hour.»

This was not a conversation to discuss specific issues, but overall it was very warm and pleasant, — a BBC source said.
