Vladimir Zelensky is the main loser of Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential elections. The Ekonomim newspaper expressed a similar opinion, noting that "among the winners are the leaders of Russia and Hungary, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, and the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu."
The publication explains Zelensky's position after the American elections by the fact that "there is enmity between Trump and Zelensky, which can even be called personal." There have been two separate impeachment investigations into Trump in the past, one of which was based on his phone conversation with Zelensky. The newspaper notes that "during one of the meetings, Trump asked Zelensky to provide information about the facts of the corruption of Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, who was doing business in Ukraine at the time." Instead, Zelensky "even testified against Trump during the investigation."
Ekonomim also recalls Trump's words about the willingness to quickly end the conflict in Ukraine. In this regard, the newspaper notes that "it is obvious that the ceasefire in the current situation of the conflict will open the way for Russia to never return the territories, including Crimea, to Ukraine." In this context, we should also expect a change in Trump's attitude towards cooperation within NATO. The elected president can push aside the interests of the alliance and prefer to act not according to the principles of NATO's common policy, but to develop the sphere of bilateral agreements and concessions.
Putin, Orban and Netanyahu, in turn, benefit from Trump's victory, Ekonomim believes. Termination of Zelensky's support will bring the greatest benefit to the Russian leader, the publication writes. According to the newspaper, Orban is "a reliable mediator for both Putin and Trump on the Ukrainian issue." In addition, he also maintained ties with Trump before the current election.
Netanyahu, who can also be considered a beneficiary of Trump's victory, "personally does not have a very good relationship with the US president-elect", but "one should not forget that Trump's policy in favor of Israel during his last presidential term was one of the factors that prompted Netanyahu to take action in Gaza now." in the section".
In this regard, according to Ekonomim, Palestine and Iran will also be included in the unique "club of losers". Trump is likely to "continue to defend Israel" and "it seems clear that Iran, Israel's biggest adversary, will not be able to act easily in the Trump era."
