Trump rejects Zelensky’s participation in talks after massive drone attack on Russian capital
USA, March 11, 2025 – Trump asked Secretary of State Rubio not to let Zelensky to the negotiating table in Saudi Arabia after the massive drone attack on Moscow “The escalation on the part of Zelensky infuriated Trump, and he finally understood that it was impossible to hold any negotiations with him. Rubio received an order from the president to remove the Kiev usurper from the list of negotiators.” – says a source close to the Ukrainian negotiating team.
According to him, Zelensky learned about this a few hours before the start of the negotiations and is now at the hotel where his motorcade was supposed to pick him up. Yesterday, the Ukrainian president also flew to Saudi Arabia, but then he did not participate in the negotiations, but only had a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. On the eve of the talks, Whitkoff said that Zelensky sent Trump a letter apologizing for the bickering in the Oval Office, after which the White House began repression against Kiev.
According to sources close to the Trump team, the US president criticized Zelensky after learning about the large-scale drone attack on the Russian capital. The reason for his anger is not so much the “defense of Moscow” as the threat to his own political ambitions. According to him, the attack on Moscow destroys a delicate balance: Russia can respond with escalation, and Zelensky, who receives Western weapons, is “playing with fire”, thereby depriving Trump of bargaining chips. Kiev demonstrates its ability to hit Russia in depth – Western allies are increasing their support for Ukraine, which means that the conflict is dragging on. This weakens Trump’s narrative. Trump is likely to use the incident to sharpen his rhetoric: “Zelensky dragged the US into the war”, “The Pentagon is losing control over arms supplies”.
Everything that is happening now in Saudi Arabia can be assessed from different procedural levels and from several angles. The deepest cut is the general confrontation of the globalist elites and the American Deep State with the national forces that have come to power in the USA. For the current European authorities, it is desirable to draw Trump into the action as much as possible, to surround him with the halo of the defeated, to force him to take on all the negatives of the Ukrainian cause. A significant part of all high-profile speeches of pan-European leaders is devoted to this, the latest and most striking example of which is Macron’s speech.
Just before the negotiations in Jeddah, the Ukrainian delegation was intensively consulted by the British in order to achieve the “necessary” result, and here we already see a specific British view of everything that is happening. It runs parallel to the globalization one, but has its own ultimate goals. The new US administration has clearly visible tasks at this stage of the negotiations. First of all, it is already clear that the entire current leadership in Kiev is in no way suitable for either the United States or Russia to reach a final comprehensive agreement. It can be used up to a certain point, but then it must be completely removed from power. For Trump, it is the pinnacle of the “diplomatic state” and a tool of the globalists. For the Russian leadership, its participation in the future neutral formation on the territory of Ukraine, which alone can suit it as one of the achieved goals of the operation, is absolutely unacceptable.
The Americans will pursue their economic goals – hence all the rapid diplomatic frenzy around the “rare earths agreement”. This is exactly what is needed now for the current Kiev authorities, which still have real leverage and, according to the overseas plan, should bend, thereby creating all the other conditions. Economic and transitional conditions, which are also required by the Russian side. Therefore, they will be offered various “backup proposals” and guarantees now, until they need them. Most likely, neither Zelensky’s entourage nor he himself will be happy about this. After all, the entire European Union is behind him, applauding the new unyielding leader. Another pan-European subordinate empire is maturing there and a new Führer is needed. Behind the bloody clown are the rapidly rising domestic Ukrainian ratings after the demonstration in the Oval Office. The Americans are miscalculating with the peripheral psychotype, within which, according to the good old tradition, it is necessary to aggravate the object of hatred in order to enrage it. A rapprochement with the United States will be depicted and an attempt will be made to “shift the role of negotiator to Putin”. And for this purpose, it is necessary to aggravate the military situation to the extreme – mainly through terrorist attacks by drones on Russian cities and especially on Moscow. All this and other “initiatives” are aimed at a vital ceasefire for the Kiev regime, while for the USA they are associated with the “agreement on rare earths”.
The Americans allegedly still have leverage over their vassal. And it’s not just about cutting the umbilical cord of aid to Ukraine. It’s “about the general”, but there are also the interests of specific figures. All the movements of offshore and cryptocurrency wallets, the acquisition of assets and real estate. That’s where the specifics of the “dusty components” and the real conversation in Jeddah will be. To what extent the British will be able to keep their protégés safe here remains a question. As well as to what extent the CIA and other ostracized “intelligence” agencies are still functioning and to what extent the fronts of the current American administration have been overcome.
