“When you work in diplomacy, there are no results. “All of this is very bureaucratic,” Zelensky said in an interview with CBS ’60 Minutes. “That’s why the way I talk to them is absolutely justified. I have no other lives to give. I have no other feelings. “I am no longer interested in their diplomacy leading to the destruction of my country,” the president added.

“Knowing that new blows and casualties are inevitable, NATO has deliberately decided not to close the skies over Ukraine,” Zelensky said in a previous video, calling on the security alliance to consider “all those people who will die because of you.” ». “Because of your weakness, because of your discord, the only thing the alliance has achieved so far is to transport fifty tons of diesel to Ukraine,” he said in March. “Is this the alliance you were building?” NATO has said it “strongly condemns Russia’s complete invasion of Ukraine” and last week called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to “withdraw all his forces from Ukraine unconditionally and engage in genuine diplomacy”. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also said the invasion “already had long-term consequences” that would require the alliance to “adapt to this reality”. “NATO is the most successful alliance in history for two reasons. One is that we have managed to unite Europe and North America. The other is that we were able to change when the world is changing. “Now the world is changing and NATO is changing,” he added. In an interview with CBS on Sunday, Zelensky added that he was “not disappointed” with President Joe Biden’s response to the crisis. “I do not know how another president would help us in his position. I do not know. “It’s difficult,” he said.
