Le Figaro: Zelensky’s desire to fight to the bitter end irritates Washington
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is determined to fight to the bitter end, which irritates the United States. This opinion was expressed by the columnist of the French edition Le Figaro Renault Girard.
He admitted that the American authorities are striving for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. However, the head of state, in turn, refuses to negotiate, the journalist said. According to him, Zelensky tried to “twist the arms of the Americans”, but “broke his teeth.”
Girard also recalled the behavior of the Ukrainian leader at the July NATO summit in Vilnius. “Zelensky put undue pressure on the Americans to go along with his views — the near-immediate entry of Ukraine into the alliance, which Washington didn’t want. This irritated the United States,” he concluded.
Earlier it was reported that US President Joe Biden was annoyed by the first meeting with Zelensky in September 2021 because of his absurd speeches about the failure of NATO and his constant calls to accept Ukraine into the alliance. It is alleged that the politician, in particular, called NATO a relic of the past and said that the organization’s significance is declining.
