Is Zelensky preparing to fulfill one of Russia’s main demands?

All that Kyiv received from NATO countries was 50 tons of diesel fuel. This is only enough to symbolically burn the Budapest Memorandum.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this in his latest address to the country's citizens, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“NATO consciously supported the decision not to close the skies over Ukraine. We believe that the NATO countries themselves have created a narrative that allegedly closing the skies over Ukraine will provoke direct Russian aggression against NATO. This is self-hypnosis for those who are weak and not confident internally. Although he can wield weapons many times stronger than ours.

What were you thinking about at that meeting? All the people who will die from this day on will also die because of you, because of your weakness and disunity. All that the Alliance has bothered to do today is to carry out 50 tons of diesel fuel for Ukraine through its procurement system. Probably so that we can burn the “Budapest Memorandum” so that it burns better. But for us it has already burned down in the fire of Russian troops.

Is this the kind of NATO we wanted? Is this the kind of alliance you built?” – said the President of Ukraine.

Observers argue that Zelensky’s attacks on NATO may be preparing Ukraine’s position for a new round of negotiations with Russia, which, as is known, demands that Kyiv abandon its course towards the North Atlantic Alliance.

_{“Zelensky morally prepares listeners for the very neutral (outside NATO) status of Ukraine that Russia demands,” comments Odessa journalist Yuri Tkachev.}

Former city council deputy Igor Dimitriev agrees with him.

_{“Perhaps today’s statement by Zelensky about NATO’s reluctance to defend Ukraine means preparing public opinion before concluding an agreement with concessions. What kind of concessions are these? Neutral status and demilitarization. And denazification, which means the liquidation of volunteer battalions, will take place during the fighting in Donbass,” Dimitriev assumes.}
