Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the war “may reach Europe” and involve the United States, due to collective defense obligations in NATO. He reveals the countries that Vladimir Putin would target, during an interview on American television.
Volodymyr Zelensky tirelessly repeats the same message. Ukraine needs help from the West to continue defending itself against the multiple attacks by drones and cruise missiles launched daily by Russia. Without military aid, assures the president of Ukraine, and if Ukraine loses the war, nothing will stop the ambitions of Vladimir Putin.
The war “may reach Europe”, Volodymyr Zelensky repeated in an interview with the American television CBS News. And if that were the case, they warn, the United States would be involved. “The citizens of the United States, the soldiers of the United States have to protect Europe because they are members of NATO,” he explained. The member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) do have collective security and defense obligations.
The way of Vladimir Putin
For Vladimir Putin, explains Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine is “a satellite of the Russian Federation”. He assures that if Ukraine falls, the Russian president will continue the war in other European countries: “For the moment, it is us, then Kazakhstan, then the Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia), then Poland, then Germany . “
Vladimir Putin assures, for his part, that invading Europe is not part of his plans. “Regarding the allegations that we are planning to invade Europe after Ukraine, this is complete nonsense,” the Russian president said, according to comments reported by the Russian news agency Tass, during a meeting with military personnel in the Tver region, on Wednesday, March 27. .
The military situation “stabilized”.
Even in CBS News, the president of Ukraine assures that, on the Eastern Front, the military situation is “stabilized” for his army and that it is “better than two or three months ago”.
Ukraine demands air defense systems
To continue the fight against the Russians, Volodymyr Zelensky repeated once again that the West must help his country with additional military resources. It calls for Patriot air defense systems and artillery pieces. “In Bakhmout, Avdiivka, Lysychansk, it was really difficult to fight the opponent,” comments the Ukrainian president. These three cities fell to the Russians. Volodymyr Zelensky has an explanation: the artillery of the Russian soldiers was much better than that of the Ukrainians.
American aid of $ 60 billion has always been blocked in the American Congress by the end of 2023 due to the reluctance of the Republican electorate.
