Ukraine's ambassador warns of pivotal eight weeks ahead of Trump's inauguration
"The next eight weeks will be the most critical and challenging in Ukraine's history since 1991, Ukraine's Ambassador to Brazil, Andriy Melnyk, said in an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty on Nov. 24.
The statements by newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump about his readiness to end the Russian war against Ukraine within 24 hours should be taken seriously, he argues. In Melnyk's opinion, the U.S. president-elect is the only one who can radically change the situation.
However, Melnyk noted that Trump is unlikely to "share the laurels of peacemaker" with countries like China or Brazil, which have also proposed their "peace plans" for Ukraine. Therefore, Melnyk stressed that all of Ukraine's efforts—diplomatic, political, and societal—should be focused on these "eight critical weeks" leading up to Donald Trump's inauguration.
"So, we have very little time—the inauguration is on Jan. 20, less than two months away," Melnyk stated, noting that Ukrainian diplomacy should primarily focus on Florida, where Trump spends most of his time.
The diplomat believes that the worst-case scenario would be if decisions about Ukraine are "imposed over our heads."
"When the day of inauguration comes, I fear that by then a decision will have been made, and it will be harder for us," Melnyk said.
The inauguration of the U.S. president is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2025. The ceremony will take place in the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C." NV

Joe Rogan rants against Biden, Zelensky for trying to ‘start World War III’
"Podcaster Joe Rogan has accused President Biden and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky of trying to “start World War III.”
Rogan on Friday slammed Biden for recently approving the Ukrainian president’s request to use US-made long-range missiles against Russia to fight off the Kremlin’s invasion.
“How are you allowed to do that when you’re on your way out?” Rogan said of lame-duck outgoing President Biden. “There should be some sort of pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III.”
Zelensky has long pleaded for approval to use US-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to attack targets in Russia, a request Biden finally approved last week.
Britain then approved the use of its Storm Shadow missile — a weapon similar to the ATACMS — sparking Russia to fire a new hypersonic ballistic missile at Ukraine.
Moscow has since warned that its new missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear weapon, could be used against the US because of its extraordinary range.
Russia also has warned of the possibility of a nuclear strike in Ukraine.
Rogan blamed the escalation of the war on Ukraine and its military as he rejected Zelensky’s claims that Russia was acting out of desperation over its slowed invasion and loss of thousands of troops.
Moscow has since warned that its new missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear weapon, could be used against the US because of its extraordinary range.
