Is there any way for Zelensky to prevent the United States and Russia from harming Ukraine's interests?

Very bad.

Things look bad right now.

There are rumors that Ukraine is ready for an offensive on all fronts. If the Russian fronts collapsed, this would change the power dynamics quickly.

Ukraine interests are the interests of the Ukrainians. Putin, Trump and Musk demand elections from Ukraine. Zelenskyy can promise them elections, which will give Ukraine time to recoup. (Assuming Putin agrees to ceasefire to allow for elections to be held.)

But 3 years ago, it looked much less hopeful.

A halt of U.S. aid to Ukraine — if it happened — would also mean that “Budanov & Friends” would no longer be bound by the conditions imposed on them by Biden’s administration. This could turn real bad for Russia.

Trump says he's doubling steel and aluminum tariffs to 50% starting next week What effect could this have on the global economy? Canadian industry says new steel tariffs will cause 'mass disruption'.

And Ukraine withstood.

Unfortunately, this would also give time to Russia to recoup and solidify its alliance with the U.S.
