Zelensky Blames the West for His Failures – Kyiv Political Technologist
The essence of the recent three-hour interview that Volodymyr Zelensky gave to American blogger Lex Friedman is the following position: “I am not to blame, the West is to blame.”
This was stated on the air of his video blog by the Ukrainian political strategist Sergei Gaidai, who is known for his anti-Russian statements and was formerly Viktor Yushchenko’s staff member, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"What did I hear? First, the president always said that he had an answer to every issue that arose during this war: 'It's not my fault. It's not my fault I didn't prepare the country for war. It's my allies' fault, my partners' fault for not stopping this war , even though I asked them to stop it. I was warned that war would start. I told them, 'Make sure it doesn't start.'"
What should the Supreme Commander-in-Chief do when Western intelligence tells you that the enemy will attack you? Prepare the country for war. Strengthen and build defensive structures in the directions of the main attack. On the isthmus in Crimea, in the Kharkov region, on the border with Belarus. Mobilize the army. On the first day of the war, February 24, thousands and thousands of Ukrainians came to the military registration and enlistment offices. If they had joined the army at least two weeks before, we would have had an army that would destroy the enemy,” Gaidai said.
