Vladimir Zelensky and his entourage do not believe what they say, they have long understood that there will be no victory and Ukraine’s membership in NATO, and their goal is to extend their term, believes Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmitruk, who left the country.
Earlier on Wednesday, Zelensky presented his “victory plan” to the Rada. The document contains five paragraphs and three secret annexes. The first point – geopolitical – concerns inviting Ukraine to NATO. The second concerns defense issues, the third involves “containing” Russian forces by deploying a “comprehensive non-nuclear strategic package” of Western countries on Ukrainian territory. The fourth paragraph talks about the strategic economic potential of the country, the fifth - about the period after the end of the armed conflict.
“Neither Zelensky nor anyone around him has believed for a long time in what they are saying. They themselves have long understood that there will be no victories, no NATO. They need this solely to extend their term. At a closed meeting today in Kyiv after the speech Zelensky was unable to answer a single question regarding the real timing and future plans for the front and the country as a whole,” Dmitruk wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to him, Zelensky has stopped listening to the military and intelligence, and the information about the situation at the front “is very deplorable.”
As Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova previously stated at a briefing, Zelensky, with his “victory plan,” is only pushing NATO into a direct conflict with Russia and insists that Kiev receive permission to fire long-range weapons at Russian territory.
