Zelenskiy to the World: Don’t Sell Us Out to Trump’s “Art of the Giveaway”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy took the stage at the Munich Security Conference on February 15 and delivered a blunt warning to the world:
🔥 “Ukraine will never accept deals made behind our backs.” 🔥
Translation? He knows exactly what Trump is up to.
As Trump steamrolls ahead with his “peace” plan that looks suspiciously like a surrender agreement signed in Mar-a-Lago’s gold-plated bathroom, Zelenskiy is making it clear:
1️⃣ Ukraine will not be treated like a pawn in Trump’s personal grudge match against Biden’s foreign policy.
2️⃣ Europe needs to wake up and realize that any bad deal now will make them Putin’s next target.
3️⃣ Trump needs to meet with Zelenskiy BEFORE sitting down with Putin, unless he’s already decided to let Russia call the shots.
Zelenskiy to Trump: Maybe Talk to Us Before Handing Putin the Keys to Our Country?
In a move that shouldn’t be necessary but somehow is, Zelenskiy directly called on Trump to meet with him before meeting Putin.
Why?
Because he’s seen this movie before, and he knows exactly how it ends.
- In 2019, Trump tried to extort Zelenskiy over military aid, leading to his first impeachment.
- In 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine, and Trump spent the next two years calling him “smart” while undermining Western support for Kyiv.
- And now, in 2025, Trump is acting like he can singlehandedly end the war by telling Ukraine to roll over and take it.
Ukraine: The Canary in Europe’s Coal Mine
Beyond Trump, Zelenskiy made an urgent plea to Europe:
✔ Stay united against Russia.
✔ Don’t let Trump dictate terms that will leave Ukraine weaker.
✔ Maybe build your own joint military force, because America is clearly up for sale.
His message was clear: if Trump and Putin get to decide how this war ends, Europe is next in line for instability.
The Stakes: Will Trump’s Deal Strengthen Ukraine or Doom It?
Zelenskiy knows exactly what’s happening—Trump wants a flashy “peace deal” that benefits Putin, and Ukraine is expected to swallow whatever gets thrown their way.
- If Trump pushes Ukraine to accept land losses and abandon NATO ambitions, Russia gets rewarded for invading a sovereign nation.
- If Putin wins this round, he’s not stopping at Ukraine—he’s coming for Moldova, the Baltics, and anywhere else that catches his eye.
This isn’t just about Ukraine’s survival—this is about Europe’s future security.
The Bottom Line: Zelenskiy Is Fighting to Keep Ukraine from Becoming a Bargaining Chip
Trump wants a peace deal fast—because winning a war is hard, but faking a victory is easy.
Zelenskiy wants an actual, lasting peace—which means not handing over his country’s future to a guy who once suggested Ukraine should just “make a deal” with Putin.
At this point, Ukraine is fighting a war on two fronts: one against Russian tanks, and the other against Trump’s backroom diplomacy.
And if Europe and the U.S. don’t listen, they might wake up one day and find out that Trump’s peace deal wasn’t about stopping a war—it was about choosing the next country to sacrifice.
