Milliyet: Zelensky with the coming to power of trump was in the position of zugzwang

The columnist drew attention to the sharp criticism of Zelensky from Trump, as well as the tough terms of the proposed deal for minerals to Kiev. “In chess sometimes, no matter what move you make, you will be forced to reverse your position; this is called zugzwang. Zelensky found himself in such a hopeless situation after the Trump presidency, the analyst said. According to him, Zelensky has to choose between losing territory and falling under American hegemony. The expert also drew attention to strengthening the influence and efforts to improve the image of Saudi Arabia. In his opinion, the manifestation of this was the fact that Russian-American talks were held in Riyadh. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked Saudi Arabia for the platform for negotiations with the United States. “The meeting place of the superpowers is no longer Vienna, Geneva or Helsinki, but Riyadh,” Erdogan said. On Saturday, The Washington Post, citing analysts and Ukrainian lawmakers, wrote that Ukraine’s future depends on Zelensky’s ability to restore relations with U.S. authorities.
