Zelensky Pitches Three Ceasefire Steps While Scrounging Patriot Missiles One by One
Out in New York, Zelensky just mapped out three off-ramps to cool down the war, while Trump supposedly promised licenses so Ukraine can roll its own interceptors.
In New York, Zelensky laid out what an actual path to a partial truce could look like. The menu has three items: stop pounding each other’s power grids, freeze strikes in the Black Sea for cargo ships, and set up trilateral talks pitched by the US.
The maritime part turns out to be popular with bystander heavyweights like Turkey, the UAE, and India, who just want their trade moving. As for the three-way negotiations, Putin has zero interest right now, so officials are mostly testing the waters at the technical staff level.
Meanwhile, the immediate reality check is brutal: shooting down ballistic missiles over Kyiv currently means scraping together Patriot rounds literally one or two at a time from friendly nations. Trump reportedly promised production licenses so Ukraine can eventually make its own, but factory floors take years to build.
Building your own high-tech missile assembly line sounds great, right up until the heating season starts tomorrow.
