Faced with a choice. Zelensky opened a new "front" against Russia

Zelensky fights for Trump's favor to save Ukraine
Journalists point out that the Ukrainian leader often described the Republican as a strong man, and this is "a clear attempt to please the president-elect."
Despite this, Zelensky has no right to forget that Donald Trump remains extremely unpredictable.
Joanna Hossa, a research fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, commented on this issue.
"Unfortunately, Zelensky cannot afford the luxury of being hostile towards Trump. He should at least try to bring him to Ukraine's side to ensure the best possible outcome for Ukraine, which is heavily dependent on American support," the expert emphasized.
Against this backdrop, she predicted that Zelensky's approach would pay off, as Trump acknowledged that it would take more than 24 hours to end the war:
Zelensky faced a choice: flatter Trump or be forced to capitulate to Putin. Flattery is a small price to pay for a better outcome.
Zelensky is not pretending, but really treats Trump well
This was pointed out by Orisya Lutsevich, deputy director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the London-based think tank Chatham House.
According to her, the Ukrainian leader's statements about Donald Trump are truly sincere.
He sincerely believes that Trump can take bold steps, and this is where this hope comes from, not only in Zelensky's mind, but also in Ukraine as a whole.
Currently, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team are doing everything possible to convince the new US president that Ukraine's victory will also be a victory for the United States.
"It's a game. Whether Trump will believe this is a viable strategy is another question," the expert notes.
