JACK POSOBIEC: Zelensky's cold feet on peace deal could be due to Russian demands for election

"The Trump peace talks have begun, it’s the art of the peace deal."

Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec reported live from West Palm Beach, Florida, where he examined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s resistance to a potential peace deal amid ongoing negotiations, due to one major condition.

"The Trump peace talks have begun, it’s the art of the peace deal. That’s what’s happening right now on the ground in Saudi Arabia, where Trump’s delegation is meeting and has met with the Russian delegation headed by Sergei Lavrov," Posobiec stated. "What we’re going to see coming out of this meeting is a series of initial conversations, but it seems by all accounts the initial conversations have gone much better than [it did during] Secretary Bessent’s meeting with Zelensky in Kyiv last week where Human Events Daily and yours truly were embedded along the team where the economic deal was not signed."



Posobiec noted that Russia has outlined specific conditions for peace, including economic cooperation and the restoration of diplomatic ties that were severed during the Obama administration. Additionally, Russia has stated firmly that a peace agreement must include presidential elections in Ukraine.

"They do not want a peace deal without presidential elections in Ukraine. What does that mean? It means, of course, that this is why Zelensky is against the deal, because Zelensky knows that his current days in office are numbered. Zelensky is only in office right now under martial law. If the war ends, that means that there wouldn’t be an ability for him to stay in office under his own Ukrainian law, so that means that he would have to run for a potential second term…"

"Isn’t this what this is all about? Weren’t we told that this war is for democracy? Weren’t we told that we need to stand up for democracy? As far as I’m concerned, democratic elections being held as a prerequisite for peace and the end of the war certainly seems like something that everyone can agree on. A ceasefire is also in the works and other potential elements that are yet to come. President Trump [is] certainly worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize already, though we know the globalists won’t give it to him."

Meanwhile, Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, whom Posobiec has referred to as a "globalist," recently commented on Trump’s role in achieving peace. Speaking during a panel, Sikorski emphasized that US credibility is at stake in the resolution of the conflict.



"I would tell him three things. Number one, Joe Biden was your successor and predecessor. He planted the flag of the United States in downtown Kyiv and declared on behalf of the United States that the US would be with Ukraine for as long as it takes until Ukraine secures its independence. Therefore, the credibility of the United States depends on how this war ends—not just the Trump administration, the United States itself. I would secondly tell him, that if you allow Putin to vassalize Ukraine, that will send a message to China that you can recover what you regard as a renegade province. That would have direct consequences for… the US system of alliances, and possibly for the future of Taiwan," he said.
