This is very much the case. Remember that Zelensky was actually very close to Trump, and explicitly defended him during the "Ukraine Gate" pivot the MSM made. Zelensky was all on-board the peace process that Trump had created, until his influence waned and the Globalists pushed hard for war. Then he just burned the whole peace process.

I doubt that Zelensky is as utterly delusional as some people in his circle claim. I doubt he can even control the level corruption within his own government considering how wide-spread it is. I think he realizes that when Trump is saying, "I'll have the whole thing finished BEFORE I get into office", he needs to go back and kiss Trump's ring before he gets left behind.

Though he's acting as a despot, remember that all of that is to basically keep himself in power as a puppet for the despotic and war-mongering Fabian Order. I can easily imagine that if he stepped out of line, he might be killed and replaced. I feel like he's willing to simply go any other direction that can preserve him some wealth, power, and influence; regardless of who that is. Considering the grievous state that Ukraine's war effort is in, and the fact that they have almost burned through their manpower, the war needs to be stopped to replenish their lost manpower for the likely next war that they will have with Russia. The devastation will also lead to enormous economic damage as well, as 350,000 dead Ukranians can't make anything.

I think Zelensky would like nothing more that Trump giving him "Peace With Honor" right now.
