You said both sides signed the agreement Wednesday (Feb 26). If that's the case what was with the despicable display in the White House at the end of the week? I thought that they were going to sign the agreement and then Trump and Vance instead used the opportunity to try and berate Zelenskyy, ending with no deal signed?
Quite right. My apologies for the error, and thanks for flagging.
I wrote this just as Zelensky was arriving at the White House. My understanding was that the deal was signed before the blow-up in the Oval Office — but, indeed, no. I've updated!
I'd like to see Europe expedite Ukraine's entry into NATO and America be damned. If America doesn't like it they can leave. Obviously America is by far and away the most powerful member of NATO but what's the point if they're hostile and can't be counted on?
Excellent piece. You clearly finished it before Zelenskyy’s WH visit. After yesterday’s appalling Oval Office display and follow up comments by cowardly Republicans, I don’t think the US should be involved in any talks right now.
There's an old Russian proverb that peace mongers should consider carefully. "Eternal peace lasts until the next war."
