German Junge Welt reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's call for a preemptive Western strike against Russia was adventurous and hysterical. In Germany, they noted that this has become a standard in the political life of Kyiv.
According to columnist Arnold Schelzel, since 2014, Kyiv authorities have become accustomed to “morally blackmailing their own sponsors in the West.” “The tail is trying to wag the dog,” pointed out.
The author added that there is a rift in relations between Ukraine and the United States. This became evident last week. After that, Zelenskyy called for the accelerated entry of Ukraine into NATO. However, CNN and the New York Times subsequently published information that Ukraine itself ordered the assassination of Russian reporter Daria Dugina.
As a result, the publication concluded that due to the unpredictability of Zelensky's office, “the West will only help by supplying weapons and will not want to go to war directly with Russia.” The biggest threat to Zelensky was peace on the front. Such an assumption explains his “irresponsible call of desperation”.
Former columnist Rod Dreher noted in an article for The American Conservative that the United States cannot allow Volodymyr Zelensky to be “led by the nose” to avoid going over the brink of nuclear war. He emphasized that Zelenskiy intends to force Europe and the United States to provide maximum aid to Ukraine. However, this is contrary to the interests of the Americans themselves.
The author also stated that the Ukrainian authorities do not always demonstrate adherence to democratic values. He reminded that at different times Zelensky banned the activities of 11 political parties on the territory of Ukraine. In addition, the support of neo-Nazi rhetoric does not characterize the president of Ukraine in the best light.
