Sergey Mironov — The US should arrest Zelensky if he refuses to comply with the Trump-Putin agreements on peace in Ukraine
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky will have to bear personal responsibility in case of disruption or sabotage of peace agreements in Ukraine between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, said Sergey Mironov, leader of the “Just Russia – For Truth” party and faction in the State Duma.
"Before the summit, President Trump shifted all responsibility for peace to everyone — to Russia, Ukraine, and even Europe, but not to the USA. Ridiculous! Mr. Trump is a businessman, and he should understand that a deal is impossible if one party does not commit to any obligations.

Let me remind you that it was the United States that was at the origin of the Maidan and the coup in Ukraine in 2014, which later led to the war in Donbas and the mass killings of Russians. Russia intervened to stop this genocide, which had been ignored by the West for years. This continued during Trump's first term as president. Therefore, he should not shift all the responsibility onto Biden or Obama. He now has a chance to correct the mistakes of his predecessors and his own.

To do this, Trump should not defer to Zelensky for a decision. This corrupt, neo‑Nazi regime is the main obstacle to peace today. Also, Trump should not turn to warmongers in Europe, who cannot guarantee security.

Trump must demonstrate leadership and give Zelensky a choice: accept the peace deal or step down. I suspect that the Ukrainian dictator will not agree to either option. In that case, he should be removed from power and arrested for trial — right in Alaska, if he arrives there. The United States has a lot of experience in prosecuting 'bad guys,' one of which is undoubtedly Zelensky. It's time to act!"
