Here’s the translation from Russian to English:
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will speak at the UN General Assembly this week and meet with US President Donald Trump, seeking greater support from allies.
As Reuters notes, Ukraine’s hopes for anti-Russian sanctions from the US are fading, and a pragmatic approach makes Zelenskyy’s trip less tense than previous visits to Washington.
Reuters writes that despite certain partnership between Ukraine and the US in a military context, Trump has not imposed sanctions that could significantly impact Russia’s military economy and force the Kremlin leader to the negotiating table.
“Meanwhile, Ukraine is shifting efforts to a new phase of war with fewer foreign resources. Think tanks that previously sought grounds for sanctions against Russia are now helping the military choose drone strike targets,” the journalists report.
Reuters also cites Ukrainian diplomats who note that Zelenskyy’s current trip is pragmatic diplomacy, not a fateful attempt.
The publication notes that some Ukrainian politicians are skeptical about the possibility of new sanctions from Trump and believe that Ukraine should focus on strengthening its own armed forces.
“Negotiations about long-term security guarantees for Ukraine they call more of a ‘ritual dance’ that would look nice, ‘if people were not dying in the meantime’,” the article states.
