The points raised in this text are thought-provoking, especially regarding the political pressure on Zelensky and the role of the United States in shaping the course of the war. Without a doubt, the massive military and financial support from the U.S. has prolonged the conflict and made it more costly, while the prospect of a complete victory has remained uncertain. Although the original goal of the West was to support Ukraine’s sovereignty, in practice, that support has often become a tool in the broader geopolitical rivalry with Russia.

Trump’s remarks were, in a way, a realistic observation: without Western backing, Ukraine’s resistance would be incredibly difficult. However, one must ask—to what extent has this support truly served the interests of the Ukrainian people, and to what extent has it furthered U.S. strategic objectives? Now that Zelensky is under pressure to accept a form of agreement with Russia, it seems the fate of an entire nation has been entangled in the ambitions of greater powers.

This brings up the issue of moral and political responsibility. Are these major powers merely rational actors pursuing their own interests, or should they be held accountable for the human catastrophes—including the deaths of countless innocent civilians—they helped create?

Ultimately, as the original text points out, this conflict poses dangers not only for Ukraine but for broader regional and even global stability. Perhaps the time has come for those who helped shape this crisis to pursue a responsible diplomatic solution rather than continuing military escalation. Otherwise, the human tragedy will not only persist—it could open a much darker chapter for the world.

Great insight Dear Abolfazl Samadi.
