– This course of the meeting did not surprise me, because in recent weeks President Trump and his deputy JD Vance have repeatedly spoken positively about Putin and Russia – said program director of the College of Eastern Europe Adam Balcer.

– In addition, in their statements about the war there were many examples of passing the truth, to put it as delicate. For this they used a very offensive, sharp language for the President of Ukraine, e.g. calling him a dictator without support or a poor comedian – he said.

– In my opinion, the President's President's plan was such that as the first time it was not imposed on Ukraine an unfavorable contract and Kiev all the time reminded about American security guarantees, instead of accepting as soon as possible, even an unfavorable peace for them, Trump and Vanc gave Zelnski “Health Path” – said Balcer.

– They assumed that he would break and there would be a show of Trump's strength in front of TV cameras and his dominance over a much weaker partner. If this failed, because in fact Zielnski is emotional and provocations could upset him, it will be a great opportunity to present to his supporters in the country and in the world that the USA is pragmatic and wants to talk about peace, and the problem is with Ukraine, allegedly “war enthusiast” – emphasized the program director of the College of Eastern Europe.

Balcer pointed out that Ukraine must of course talk to the USA, but at the same time should strengthen cooperation with other countries. – It's about the EU, Great Britain, Norway, Canada, AustraliaSouth Korea, Japan or to some extent Turkey. It is in the interest of Ukraine that these countries fulfill their obligations for Ukraine and even increase them when there is no help from the US – he said.

He noted that “if these countries appear against Trump as a block, the chance to put pressure on him will be greater.” – Of course, the US will play Western countries, playing the fifth column, its allies, or blackmailing weak cells. Here is the great question of how Poland will behave if it is under such pressure – said Balcer.

The expert emphasized that we “displaced” from the awareness that Donald Trump “in January 2020 tried to carry out a coup.” – We went to the agenda and from time to time we have moments of brutal awakening. Then we come back to thinking again: this type has it, he only says so – noted Balcer. “However, he not only says so,” he emphasized. In his opinion, Trump in recent weeks began the process of dismantling the rule of law in the USA.
