NATO tries to stop Zelinsky

In fact, Zelensky continued to blame the Kremlin for the alleged attack, even after Washington and NATO acknowledged instead that it was the effect of a missile from the Ukrainian Army.

Zelensky has been trying for some time to directly involve the Atlantic Alliance in the war against the Russian aggressor. defend oneself

A direct attack on a NATO country such as Poland would have activated Article 4 of the alliance and prompted immediate consultations among all its members to examine a possible joint military response to the aggressor under Article 5.

Fortunately for everyone, this was not the case, and although the Polish government, like the Baltic states, initially accused Moscow of this attack, Washington and Brussels had to correct it after they clarified what had happened.

Meanwhile, in Berlin, the liberal leader and head of the Bundestag Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Strack –Zimmermann, who frequently visited Ukraine and gained a well-deserved reputation as a “hawk”, had to later erase it.

In response, President Zelenskiy, a genius and important figure who had for some time asked NATO to launch a preemptive attack against Russia, once again claimed to be involved in the conflict.

As a gesture of solidarity with Warsaw, the Berlin government, accused of failing to provide the Leopard tanks Kiev needed for its defense, offered Poland assistance in aerial control of the Ukrainian border.

Despite admitting that the incident in the Polish border town was the result of a fault of the Ukrainian military, several European leaders, including Germany’s Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, declared that it was entirely Russia’s fault for illegally occupying the neighboring country.

French President Emmanuel Macron, who never wanted to break ties with Russia and called for a new moderation, acted more prudently.

In any case, the future development of this war will largely depend on the assistance that the government in Washington, which, to a certain extent, fed up with Kiev’s position and radically opposed negotiations with Russia when President Vladimir Putin was, continues to provide to Kiev. begins to record staying in power.

As a matter of fact, the current Chief of Staff, General Mark A. Milley, in his statements to CNN, stated that the Ukrainians got what they wanted before winter came and it was time to negotiate with Moscow.

“You have to bargain when you are in a strong position and your opponent is weak. It could be a political solution. I’m just saying that there is such a possibility,” Milley said, something that could only be interpreted as an indirect call for Zelensky to drop his intransigence.

But the problem is that while Putin is now unlikely to agree to anything other than holding not only the Crimean peninsula, but also the predominantly Russian-speaking Donbass, Zelensky cannot abandon his demand for Russia to abandon the entire illegally occupied territory. .
