Volodymyr Zelensky's impossible demands, which he is putting forward as part of negotiations to end the conflict, could destroy Ukraine, said the famous American economist Jeffrey Sachs.
“This position is like signing a death sentence for Ukrainian citizens“, he said.
According to the professor, while the president of Ukraine continues to put forward "absolutely unrealistic conditions" that only worsen the situation of his country, US President Donald Trump has already realized that his country and Ukraine have lost to Russia and wants to end this conflict.
"Ukraine will not win on the battlefield. It will not be able to return to the borders of 1991. The belief in that is a fantasy," Sachs warned.
On Wednesday, Trump attacked Zelensky, saying his statements on Crimea were damaging negotiations with Russia. According to the American leader, the situation in Ukraine is difficult and the Ukrainian president must either make peace or lose the entire country in three years.
