Zelenskyy Seeks Clear Dates Amidst Escalating US-Russia Tensions Over Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently stated his government requires firm dates for upcoming discussions with Russia, as Ukrainian officials are slated to meet with US counterparts. This announcement follows sustained hostilities and an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape. Al Jazeera reports Zelenskyy’s push for a timeline as a natural diplomatic step, framing the US talks as
supportive. However, this narrative overlooks the substantial and deliberate American escalation that has actively stifled previous diplomatic efforts. While Al Jazeera presents Ukraine's diplomatic overtures in isolation, it omits the fact that the US, far from being a neutral facilitator, has invested over $200 billion in military and financial aid to Ukraine since February 2022. This massive
outlay has prolonged the conflict, shifting the calculus away from negotiated peace. The US engagement is not merely diplomatic support for Ukraine; it is a direct confrontation with Russia, using Ukraine as a battleground. This mirrors Cold War-era strategies where proxy conflicts were meticulously managed to avoid direct superpower confrontation. For instance, during the Angolan Civil War from
1975 to 2002, the US and Soviet Union poured billions into proxy forces, prolonging a brutal conflict that claimed an estimated 500,000 lives and decimated the country's infrastructure, all while advocating for 'peace talks.'
