Why Zelensky swerved an American ambush in London

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : Trump sees Ukraine much like Putin does - without the sentimental attachment to a Russian imperial fantasy - as a vast resource of minerals to feed American industrial profit like a thanksgiving turkey.
27% : They can't, and won't, admit that Donald Trump and his administration have done everything it can not to pursue peace in Ukraine but to cement the Kremlin's suzerainty over lands it has invaded.
26% : " But he knows deep down that Trump and his men do not believe that Russia has illegally invaded Ukraine.
23% : Ukraine knows what happens when it defies Trump.
20% : Actor turned statesman Volodymyr Zelensky may have only ever played a soldier, but as a war time leader he knows an ambush when he sees one. Having been trapped in the Oval Office and shot up by Donald Trump and JD Vance, he has avoided an enfilade from a crack team of American diplomats in the London kill zone by not turning up at all. Tipped off that his intended target was not going to wander into his sights, the US team leader, secretary of state Marco Rubio, called off the operation altogether and stayed in Washington along with Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy to Vladimir Putin.
