Report # 322. WHAT ARE MAJOR RESULTS OF ZELENSKY’S TRIP TO THE USA?
September 29, 2024
In September 2024 ex-president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky (prefix “ex” is used because he lost his authority under Ukrainian Constitution last May) visited the USA with two basic aims: to meet with President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris to demand additional war-fighting resources to continue massive aggression against Russia, and to address the current UN General Assembly session with its justification.
“Scranton show”
Visiting the USA Volodymyr Zelensky kicked off his first tour at Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (Pennsylvania), in Biden’s hometown. Making short remarks at the plant the ex-president of Ukraine observed that its 400 workers are producing high-caliber 155mm artillery shells actively used against the citizens of Ukraine and Russia and helped to save lives of millions of people.
Wrong. Many millions of shells produced by that ammunition plant and other military plants in the USA have already killed dozens of thousands of civilians in Donbass (the DPR and the LPR), and Novorossya (Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions), Crimea and in several internationally recognized Regions inside continental Russia bordering Ukraine. The U.S. artillery shells and HIMARS rockets, German tanks, and Swedish anti-tank devices have been found in Kursk Region that Zelensky has ordered to invade and to blow up Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in the framework of his ‘victory plan’. Has he so far obtained positive military results in that region?
Nothing. By September 28, 2024 a formidable Ukrainian armed grouping has learned a very sad lesson in Kursk Region. Since the beginning of Ukrainian armed adventure in Kursk Region that began on August 6, 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) lost more than 18,130 troops, 132 tanks, 64 infantry fighting vehicles, 97 APCs, 842 AFVs, 541 motor vehicles, 145 artillery guns, 31 MLRS launchers, eight SAM launchers, 37 electronic warfare stations and nine counter-battery radars, etc. All Kiev’s attempts to reinforce the initial incursion grouping of 12,000 troops have failed.
On the other hand, in Kursk Region the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been spotted in killing civilians, burning hospitals and schools, looting shops and private houses. On the third day of their invasion Ukrainian GIs have hanged nine small Russian kids in the basement of a house who failed to escape from invaders.
Empty ‘peace plans’
During his time in office and after Volodymyr Zelensky has put forward too many various plans, like ‘peace plans’ with various provisions and different demands. He recently presented another political scheme – ‘a victory plan’. It has been tabled to the current U.S. Administration who incited a full-scale multi-dimensional combined Ukrainian-NATO armed aggression – initially against Donbass on April 14,2014 and later on February 17, 2022, and afterwords against Russia at the end of September 2022 when four regions have joined Russia.
In his address to the UN Security Council in New York on September 24, Zelensky claimed that the Russia-Ukraine conflict “cannot be calmed by talks” and that Moscow “can only be forced into peace.” He failed to mention in what way he plans to force Russia into peace. He seemingly does not realize that Donbass and later Russia initially attacked by Ukraine and NATO in April 2014 has much more motivation to defend its people, economy, culture, religions and territory than the attacker who has violated the UN Charter and many international agreements because it was and still it is Kiev who used and uses regular Armed Forces against its own citizens living in Donbass – both ethnic Russians and Ukrainians living in the DPR and the LPR.
Before rebranding his previous proposals, the ex-Ukrainian leader has said that he wanted Russia to be “at the table” during his next ‘peace summit’. Rather strange to hear when he insisted that Russia should not be invited to the first ‘peace summit’ held earlier this year. However, Moscow rejected an idea to participate in the second “peace summit” by expressing its firm belief that this process itself has nothing to do with the putting an end to the Ukrainian aggression and restore real peace in Europe.
Writing on the wall
Former Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is “delusional” if he believes Moscow can be forced into peace on Kiev’s terms, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
“A stance that is based on an attempt to force Russia into peace is an absolutely fatal mistake because it is impossible to force Russia into peace,” Peskov told journalists on September 25, 2024 (here and later in terms of Moscow time). The Ukrainian leader’s stated position is “a profound delusion that will inevitably have consequences for the Kiev regime,” he warned.
Peskov’s warning is based upon the objective facts that Russia is much stronger than Ukraine in all dimensions – economic and military might, and more and more people wishing voluntarily to defend its country that won two major wars waged against Russia by Napoleon and Hitler. Russia has much more resources than Ukraine, and has nuclear capability while Ukraine does not have any. Russian defensive actions since February 2022 are enjoying tremendous popular support, while Ukrainian aggression against Russia is becoming less and less favourable amongst rank-and-file Ukrainians. Ukrainian POWs confess that they prefer to save their lives and surrender rather than to become KIA or WIA for dubious ideas.
More than 100 Ukrainian attacks on ZNPP
While in the United States, Zelensky has circulated lies that Russia is planning to attack Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plants. On September 25, 2024 Zelensky warned that such attacks risk nuclear disaster. “Radiation does not respect state borders,” Zelensky made such a revelation in his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. But, Russia has never attacked any Ukrainian NPP, and has no intention to do it.
But he never admitted that the AFU have shelled Zaporozhye (Russian spelling) NPP or a short ZNPP, the largest in Europe, more than 100 (one hundred) times, and sent five commando teams across adjacent Kahovskaya Reservoir to capture the station and blackmail Russia and Europe as a whole. Such attacks that still remain unnoticed by Rafael Grossi, the IAEA head, have stirred fears among Europeans of another Chernobyl-style disaster, initiated by Ukrainian engineers in 1986 when they unwisely experimented with 4th nuclear reactor that subsequently melted down.
Gloomy face after talks in Trump Tower
Zelensky’s trip to the USA and his meetings with President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party nominee Vice-President Kamala Harris and ex-president Donald Trump has brought little practical results. Zelensky has not gotten any promise for Ukraine to join NATO and a decision to employ long-range U.S. or the UK missiles deep inside Russia. Biden only announced a further US $ 7.9 billion package of military assistance to Ukraine.
The former Ukrainian president was gloomy, sad and nervous during all these meetings, especially while talking with Donald Trump who, seemingly, unlike Biden & Harris Co, has poured a cold shower on him by telling him real truth: if Ukraine continues miscalculated aggression in Europe, Ukraine will cease to exist. The ex-US president outlined that the USA needs a clear exit strategy for the Ukraine conflict and insisted that neither his Democratic rival Kamala Harris nor President Joe Biden has any such plan. Donald Trump reiterated his promise to end the conflict immediately if he is re-elected. Such a statement was met by Zelensky with a stony face as if a capital punishment verdict had been personally articulated for him in a court room.
Russian federal liberal newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets” underscored that both ex-presidents like Trump and Zelensky currently do not have any chemistry between them. Zelensky recently impolitely told the New Yorker magazine that he believes Trump “doesn’t really know how to stop the war” and called Trump’s running mate James D. Vance “too radical” and “dangerous” for suggesting that Ukraine should give up territory to end the war, saying it would spark conflict around the world. In his turn Donald Trump called his Ukrainian counterpart “the greatest salesman on Earth”, meaning that he is begging money everywhere and gets them without any desire to pay back.
There have been tensions between Zelensky and the Republican party ahead of November’s U.S. presidential election. Some Republicans were angered by Zelensky’s visit to an arms plant in Scranton. Zelensky’s trip to the key swing and battleground state which is home to a sizable population of people of Ukrainian ancestry, had partisan motivations and was labelled by leading Republicans as a partisan campaign event. In a public letter, House Speaker Mike Johnson who refused to meet with the ex-Ukrainian head of state said the visit was “designed to help Democrats” and claimed that it mounted to “election interference”. He also demanded to fire the Ukrainian ambassador to the USA for initiating the “Scranton show”.
Some results of Zelensky’s trip
Nowadays private citizen Zelensky has been talking about “truly just peace” in Europe and has hammered out another option in the form of a ‘victory plan’. Is he really committed to peace through victory? No, not at all. The real motivation of his new gimmick is totally different.
What are Zelensky’s real aims standing behind his ‘peace or victory plans? Are they visible or not?
The answer is: yes, they are clear.
He would like to rule Ukraine his whole life and help the current U.S. Administration to reap more blood money for the U.S. military industrial complex or MIC, and assist the Democratic party to win the 2024 presidential elections at the cost of continuing of Ukrainian-NATO aggression in the heart of Europe.
What is the motivation pursued by Biden & Harris Co?
To guarantee the election of the Democratic Party nominee – Vice-President Kamala Harris as president of the USA. And to keep Zelensky in office for decades. Plus, to help the current U.S. Administration to reap more blood money for the U.S. MIC.
It corresponds to: “One hand is washing the other” (Russian proverb). Or: “Scratch my back. I will scratch yours” (English proverb). The obvious result is the same. Ukrainian-NATO aggression in Europe still goes on. It has not been and it is not a Russian “aggression” against Ukraine. Quite the opposite.
Zelensky is not interested in the fact that too many people have been killed and crippled, too many people became internally displaced persons and refugees, and too many cities destroyed and industrial centers ruined.
He is getting unpopular amongst the American general public and ruling elites. The same is true with the majority of Ukrainian citizens.
The former Ukrainian president neglects the facts that due to his adventurism the relations between five global nuclear powers have dramatically deteriorated without any glimpse of hope for any improvement.
He does not care that the symbolic Doomsday clock displays a rather alarmist signal to all people on the globe.
Unfortunately, after traveling to the USA, Zelensky has retained his deep-seated war-mongering style. Zelensky’s credo is a war “with no light at the end of the tunnel”. He personally is responsible for the fact that he has moved the world closer to the World War III.
