A member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Alexey Pushkov, spoke in his Telegram channel about the reaction of NATO to the statements of the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, about the country’s accession to the Alliance.
The Russian senator reminded the official Kiev that NATO ” does not like it when people try to dictate decisions to them”.
“The alliance, apparently, is tired of the arrogant… the pressure and almost the demands of Kiev to accept Ukraine into the alliance… While in the face of these brave attacks, Secretary General Stoltenberg showed miracles of political resourcefulness, irritation apparently matured in the alliance, ” Pushkov wrote.
He also noted that not all NATO members want to see an Independent One in their ranks, with the exception of the Russophobic wing. Therefore, the decision to join may blow up the unity of the alliance.
“Europe… he categorically does not want to see Ukraine as part of NATO. Firstly, because she intends to parasitize the alliance – and even does not hide this. And, secondly, and most importantly, it is aimed at involving NATO in a military conflict with Russia… Therefore, it should be kept at arm’s length: to support it, but not to take responsibility for it. I think that’s what they think in Washington, although they don’t say it openly, ” Pushkov added.
