Literally for zero benefit. Just shows Ukrainian (as well as any other country's) diplomats that he is willing to dump their back channel into the public sphere on a whim. There is a reason this "strategy" has never been used in the history of statecraft.
I'm not even sure what Trump thinks he's gaining by spreading this? Zelensky is clearly concerned that if Trump takes office again, an unfortunate near 50:50 at this point, that he will be pull all support from Ukraine (maybe even help Russia). He's doing what a man in his position, a good president trying to protect his country under invasion and dependent upon the support of allies, would do. He's going to endear himself to the egotist, puff him up and hope that if he wins the presidency, Trump either sees reason or at least enjoys Zelensky sucking up to him enough to not fuck this up for Ukraine.
Dear Donald, I hope you’re doing well. I recall our recent phone call — it was really good. All of us in Ukraine want to end this war with a just peace. And we know that without America this is impossible to achieve. That’s why we have to strive to understand each other and remain in close contact. Days ago, we requested a meeting with you, and I really want to hear your thoughts directly, and firsthand. You know I always speak with great respect about everything connected to you, and that’s how it should be. I can be in New York on Friday, which would be a good time to meet. I believe it’s important for us to have a personal contact and to understand each other 100%. Let me know if you are in the city at that time — I would really like for our meeting to take place, as part of our efforts to help us end this war in a just way
It's the type of generic flattery that Trump completely eats up.
That's why he's posting it: because he thinks it reflects his value.
Probably posting it to let Putler know he didn't cheat on him.
Stupid ass Trump aside, this also just shows that Zelensky is a sane person who’s coving his bases. There is a 50 / 50 chance he needs to deal with a Trump whitehouse in Nov, so he’d better build the best relationship possible with that moron.
Ugh, what a pain to be Zelenskyy and have to meet up with this old dork in case the US election goes south.
The GOP’s entire narrative is that Zelenskyy has now gone all-in with Democrats and is snubbing Republicans. Their “God Emperor” just proved that claim to be false.
Trump has quite literally lost the script. Now, they’ll all have to pretend it didn’t happen whenever a camera is around while the panicking continues privately.
Dangerous ignoramus claims nation should capitulate to foreign invaders in the media and then humblebrags gritted-teeth diplomacy for which he doesn’t even deserve.
Zelensky on his way to finish the job
Zelensky-Trump cage match PPV.
Hey mum! Look! I'm as important as any US president! Not only this weirdo in Kremlin, even Zelensky wanna meet me ... ^ ^
