This is not even about the legal recognition of Crimea as Russian territory by the Americans themselves.
Its unpleasant.
Disgusting.
But its not the first time Trump has done something like this.
Its more of a symbolic step.
The key problem is the lifting of sanctions.
All of them.
The ones that, according to the Russians, dont work, but which they tirelessly try to negotiate, kissing the US presidents behind.
Because it turns out, there is no punishment for the aggressor.
Putin took part of Ukraines territory.
Then he stopped further aggression, which he no longer has the strength for.
And he got away with it.
Without giving back what was stolen.
Damn it, even Ukrainian corrupt officials, when striking a deal with the authorities, return what they were caught with.
And its not just about justice, though it seems incredibly unjust. Its about the signal.
That you can do whatever you want, and there will be no consequences. This directly encourages both Putin and other aggressors around the world to start wars.
And it opens such a Pandoras box that the world will no longer recognize itself.
Putin will turn to his oligarchs and say Look.
Just as I said, we won.
Not against Ukraine.
We defeated the USA.
Weve restored greatness.
And were returning to life as before.
Why wouldnt he try again after such a victory In a year In three In five Or perhaps someone else, not Putin, might try Is this a hidden desire of Trump to conquer and annex something, paving the way to his dreams, even though it seems too complicated for the U.S.
president And of course, this is also a security issue for Ukraine.
A stagnant, weak Russia is one of the best guarantees of security.
Of course, in addition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the understanding that every Ukrainian politician must now have that in order to avoid future wars, one must always be ready.
But without sanctions, Russia will recover much faster and may again think, Why not.
Therefore, it is critically important for both Ukraine and the EU to maintain sanctions against Russia, which should not be tied to a ceasefire but to the presence of Russian soldiers on Ukraines legitimate territory.
