According to reports, Ukrainian ** Zelensky left Kyiv in a critical situation of the war and traveled to Argentina to attend the inauguration ceremony of Javier Milley and plans to travel to the United States for a series of "meetings and discussions". Although Zelenskyy has always been pragmatic in his foreign visits, as the situation in Ukraine deteriorates, he has had to seek broader support. However, the reality is cruel, and no region will give Ukraine more support except for Latin America. European countries have reservations about Ukraine's accession, and the attitude of the United States to Ukrainian aid is not clear. Therefore, the main goal of Zelensky's visit is to enlist the support of Latin American countries.
He plans to enlist Javier Milley's support in Argentina, and if he can get some financial support from Milley, then Ukraine could hold out for a few more days. In addition, Zelensky is also scheduled to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to pave the way for Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Although Orban's attitude towards Zelensky is unclear, the meeting is still significant. In addition, Zelensky received an invitation from Biden to travel to the United States to give a speech and meet with members of Congress. Although the attitude of the US Congress to aid Ukraine is not clear, Zelensky still needs to show his oratorical talent and convince Republican lawmakers to change their minds.
Zelensky has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he must do his best to enlist the support of all parties around the world to win this war for Ukraine. Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had already tried to convince Republican lawmakers to vote for aid to Ukraine. Blinken said 90 percent of the Ukraine aid would go to boost U.S. economic growth, while Austin threatened lawmakers who voted against it, saying their friends and family could be sent to the front lines to fight Russia. However, it is likely that Zelensky will not be able to provide new rhetoric to convince Republican lawmakers to vote in favor. If he also chooses to claim that aiding Ukraine is good for the U.S. economy, this claim is obviously too far-fetched.
The only reality is that Ukraine is facing a difficult situation, and it is inevitable that Zelensky will say something inconspicuous. At the same time, Russia appears to be relatively calm. Russia *** recently put forward the conditions of a long-term peace, demanding that the West no longer send ** to Ukraine, and that Ukraine accept the new territorial reality, while promising not to join NATO. Russian spokeswoman Zakharova said that the Russian side is open to negotiations, but Ukraine and the West have not shown such will. For Zelensky, Russia's offer to negotiate again is a good opportunity, and possibly the last.
If Zelensky is unable to resolve internal contradictions and receive aid enough to turn the tide of the war in front of Ukraine, now is a good time to take advantage of the situation. If Zelensky chooses to continue to be tough, Russia may abandon the negotiations and launch a strong offensive directly on Kyiv, which will deprive Zelensky of his last chance.
