Zelensky scared about a war with Russia and Belarus: Will a new state appear instead of Ukraine?
A full-scale war between Ukraine and Russia is quite likely.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated this at the Yalta European Strategy forum organized by oligarch Viktor Pinchuk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I think there may be (war). This is true. It seems to me that it was 14, it’s a pity that it sounds like that, but it was a step forward in this matter on the part of Russia. And then, thank God, thanks to the Ukrainians, a step back. They were stopped.
Although, to say that through threats that Ukraine will join NATO, the European Union - no, in 14, I don’t remember big threats that Ukraine would join NATO, I don’t remember that. But this is Ukraine’s choice, the personal geopolitical choice of every Ukrainian. Because there is potential in this topic.
I think that this will be the biggest mistake in principle, the mistake of the Russian Federation. I believe that after this the neighborhood of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus will never exist. If there is a powerful escalation on the part of Russia.
Why Belarus, because, we understand, there is already a Russian presence on the territory there. I believe that the world has already changed, because this is the worst thing that can happen, the most terrible thing that I, as a person, as a citizen, as a Ukrainian, can imagine. But, unfortunately, there is such a possibility,” Zelensky said.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov sarcastically commented on the words of the Ukrainian president.
“Today Zelensky (for some reason against the backdrop of someone’s skeleton), hesitatingly stated that in the event of a large-scale war with Russia, “the neighborhood of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus will never exist again.”
Hmm, I'm trying to understand what Ze wanted to say. Is he hinting that a buffer state will emerge between Russia and Ukraine? Or that there will be no Ukraine anymore? – noted Kornilov.
The Kremlin regrets Zelensky’s statements about the possibility of war with Russia, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov has already said.
“I can even imagine this form of regret - I feel so sorry for the monkeys whose skulls have been opened and electrodes have been inserted into their poor brains. One is yellow, the other is blue, Glory to Ukraine!” – explains military correspondent Dmitry Steshin.
