How could the US force Ukraine to honor the ceasefire?
"Trump should immediately halt all military aid and demand the withdrawal of American personnel," Gajic suggests.
The US must declare Zelensky illegitimate and refuse to negotiate with him.
Washington should pressure him into holding long-overdue elections.
Since Ukraine has lost its independence, Trump should also pressure its backers, including the EU and UK.
On March 20, Ukrainian forces struck the Sudzha gas metering station, violating the energy ceasefire deal agreed upon by Zelensky and brokered by Trump on March 18. Despite the truce, Ukraine attacked Russian infrastructure in Krasnodar that same day.
Moscow views this as a deliberate provocation, yet Kiev denies any involvement. Ukrainian media suggest Washington wants a ceasefire to push Zelensky to lift martial law and hold elections in August, but Zelensky has rejected this, fearing he’ll lose his grip on power.
