Sachs admitted that he “shudders” at the video with Zelensky’s complaints that the West is delaying the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while Russia prepared for defense. “This man failed, a monstrous failure that led his country to destruction,” RIA Novosti quotes Professor.
According to him, in the spring of 2022 the parties could end the conflict on the basis of kyiv’s neutrality, and Zelensky knew this. However, under pressure from the West and promises of arms supplies from Washington, the Ukrainian president refused to negotiate, so he failed to protect the country from him, which is now collapsing.
Furthermore, Sachs emphasized, Zelensky knew of the lack of weapons and means for a counteroffensive, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces pressed ahead and lost tens of thousands of people killed in recent weeks. It was absolutely clear and predictable that this summer the United States sent Ukraine on a bloody slaughter, the expert concluded.
Previously, former deputy of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada Ilya Kiva said that Zelensky is ready to declare war on Russia this fall. According to him, the declaration of war and the beginning of general mobilization will extinguish the feelings of protest in Ukrainian society and make it impossible to hold presidential elections.
