Ukrainian journalist and former editor of "Forbes Ukraine" Maksim Kukhar is, as the kids say, "having a normal one":
"1. The plan is as follows.
Officially condemn the United States for switching to the side of aggressive Russia in its war against Ukraine.
In connection with the betrayal by the United States, expel the entire staff of the U.S. Embassy and all American citizens from Ukraine within 48 hours.
Freeze the accounts and activities of American companies in Ukraine. Begin the process of their nationalization, as well as the nationalization of any U.S. assets in Ukraine.
Offer EU countries Ukrainian troops to blockade U.S. military bases in Europe. Since, with the United States now definitively siding with Moscow, these bases may also threaten the independence of EU states.
Prepare for military confrontation with U.S. forces in Europe. Develop pre-emptive strikes against their bases and concentrations of forces.
2. When Russia attacked us, we were told we wouldn’t last even a week. Today they will say that if we don’t listen to the U.S. and capitulate, we won’t last even two weeks. But that is a lie—just like the first time.
Russia has already broken its teeth on us. Now we must force the United States, which from the first days of the war has helped Moscow far more than it helped us, to understand that it has no right to dictate anything to our country.
3. On the military aspect. The United States has no political possibility to create a significant grouping of forces near our borders, nor is such a possibility expected.
Trump cannot say, “I will send troops to Ukraine so they can force Kyiv to submit to Moscow.”
Therefore, the U.S. is now simply gifting us the position of Europe’s military leader for decades to come.
The main thing now is not to be frightened by empty words and not to give up this position for nothing, for reasons no one understands. Only escalation with Washington and accusing it of betraying everything sacred and democratic—there is no other path."
