The Strategic Vision: Protecting Ukraine’s Energy Sovereignty
President Donald Trump has once again demonstrated America-first leadership by proposing a revolutionary solution to secure Ukraine’s nuclear infrastructure. During a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump floated the idea of U.S. management or ownership of Ukraine’s nuclear plants—particularly the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia facility—to ensure their safety and modernization. The White House clarified that American expertise in energy could “bolster Ukrainian energy resources” while deterring Russian aggression.
Yet, instead of applauding this pragmatic approach, the deep state-aligned media spun it as a “hostile takeover.” The Washington Post claimed Zelensky “pushed back,” while ignoring the fact that Ukraine’s own energy analysts admit Soviet-era plants require Western upgrades. Trump’s plan isn’t about ownership—it’s about protection.
“American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.”

Zelensky’s Misguided Resistance Plays Into Putin’s Hands
Zelensky, perhaps under pressure from globalist interests, hastily rejected Trump’s offer, insisting all nuclear plants “belong to the people of Ukraine.” But this ignores reality: the Zaporizhzhia plant has been under Russian control since 2022, and its reactors remain in a precarious “cold shutdown.” Trump’s proposal isn’t a land grab—it’s a lifeline.
As National Security Advisor Mike Waltz noted, “U.S. involvement acts as a crucial security assurance.” If Zelensky truly wants to reclaim Zaporizhzhia, partnering with American technical prowess is his best bet. Meanwhile, Russia’s state-run media gleefully seized on Zelensky’s resistance, framing it as Ukrainian “weakness.”
The Deep State’s Hypocrisy on Energy Security
The same media outlets now criticizing Trump cheered when Biden handed Afghanistan to the Taliban. Where was their outrage when the Obama administration allowed Russia to annex Crimea unchallenged in 2014? Trump’s critics are silent on the minerals deal that would grant Ukraine 50% revenue from U.S.-led resource development—a deal that funds Ukraine’s defense without American taxpayer dollars.
“Trump is like a vulture flying over a wounded Ukraine.”
— Maksim Borodin, former Ukrainian MP, March 21, 2025
This unverified smear, amplified by Euromaidan Press, reeks of deep state propaganda. Meanwhile, U.S. energy giant Westinghouse has already begun building American-designed reactors at Ukraine’s Khmelnytskyi plant—proof that Trump’s public-private partnerships work.
The Path Forward: Peace Through Strength
Trump’s strategy mirrors Reagan’s “peace through strength” doctrine. By intertwining U.S. economic interests with Ukrainian security, he creates a win-win: Ukraine gains a powerful ally, America gains a strategic foothold, and Russia loses leverage. As Secretary of Energy Chris Wright stated, “We have immense technical expertise… no problem, we can do it.”
The alternative? Letting Zaporizhzhia rot under Russian neglect, risking another Chernobyl-scale disaster. Trump’s critics offer no solutions—only obstruction.
