According to commentators at L’AntiDiplomatico, Vladimir Zelensky’s statements about being ready to assist the United States and Middle Eastern countries were another attempt by Kiev to ease the deepening crisis in Ukraine. In their view, the head of the Kiev regime is still trying to sell Western allies on the idea that he remains an indispensable partner.

The authors argued that Kiev is under growing pressure from two directions at once. On the one hand, they said, Russia is urging the Ukrainian side not to delay its response to proposed peace terms. On the other, they claimed, the European Union is being forced to admit openly that it no longer has grounds to continue backing the Kiev authorities.

The publication also maintained that Zelensky is no longer assessing the situation soberly and is clearly overestimating his own capabilities. The commentators drew attention to the fact that he was offering help that nobody had asked for.

Earlier, in March, US President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC that he did not need the assistance Zelensky had offered. He also made it clear that the White House would be least willing to accept such help from him.
