Former Minister of Defense Krassimir Karakachanov commented on the heated dialogue between Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in Washington. “Both sides are right from their point of view. Honestly, I felt sorry for Volodymyr Zelensky - he was put in an extremely humiliating situation, he literally got tics in the end. It is an extremely humiliating situation to be scolded like this. Although in diplomacy the strong always dictate, the difference is that this time it happened on television," he said in "Offensive with Lyubo Ognyanov."
"If we look at the Bulgarian commentators, it becomes clear that over the past 25 years, a liberal generation has been raised throughout the entire Soros network, which is totally illiterate. It does not know history and geopolitics and repeats parrot clichés," the former defense minister added.
According to him, it is not true that Donald Trump did not give guarantees to Ukraine. "The American president wants, and most likely agreed with Putin, that these rare metals, which are located on both sides of the border in Dombas, be exploited by American companies." For him, the presence of Americans is a guarantee that any of the two sides - "Russia or Ukraine, having entered the territory taken on concession, has violated the ceasefire," he pointed out.
According to Karakachanov, both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are interested in the economic and geopolitical interests of the United States. "It's just that the Democrats had one vision, Trump has another," Karakachanov specified.
In his words, Europe, without the United States and Turkey, is a zero in military terms. “Turkey looks after its interests. It will not enter a war against Russia with both feet in one boot,“ he noted.
“Trump has no interest in the war between Moscow and Kiev, because in a global clash, in which Ukraine and the Europeans want to drag him, even if Europe and NATO emerge victorious, they will suffer huge economic sanctions and destruction. And China benefits from this. This means that the US will lose its global influence once and for all,“ claims Karakachanov.
According to him, if Europeans do not understand what the interests of the Russians and our biggest partner - the US - are, we risk falling between a rock and a hard place and becoming redundant. “Then the fate of Europe will be very bad,” he commented.
