Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky appears to have accepted that his country will not become a member of NATO, one of the demands made by Russia before it invaded.
According to a translation of his comments in a speech, Zelensky said that Ukraine had "realized" it would not become part of the Western military alliance.
"For years we've heard the opposite, open doors, However, it is not," he said Tuesday according to Ukrainian news outlet, Trukha.
"Our people understand this, and we are beginning to count on our own strength," he added.

Hell no he aint winning the war. Although the Ukes have killed a bunch of Russians, they are advancing and ultimately will surround Kiev.
Zelensky uses his head he will take the deal and wait.
Putin will be out in a matter of time.
Putin attacked Ukraine to show Ukraine that it could never rely on NATO.
What about the Ukranian negotiator that was tortured and killed. Did Z have that done to send a signal or was that a Soros agent sent in to strike fear into the Ukrainian hearts and minds???
Nobody is talking about this.....wonder why?
Bttt your post!
> 4 years of an outsider and the world was on the brink of peace... <
Yep. Trump did pretty much everything right in that regard. But Trump annoyed the Deep State. And his tweets annoyed the mainstream media. So Trump had to go. And in his place we’ve got sleepy, incompetent Joe Biden.
So now the media is happy. And the Deep State is happy. But history will not be happy.
I would like to believe the US wasn't directly involved, but you're probably right. Hard to believe they'd pull that crap in Europe.
IF NATO or the US says they won’t allow Ukraine in NATO, it would have some credibility. As it is, this is just a Hail Mary move by Z.
Putin is an angel next to Nuland, Obama and his puppet Biden.
Nailed it. Thanks!
Not good...
“after the democratically elected government was overthrown in a coup.”
The majority of the Ukrainian people wanted to turn westward, and become more aligned with Europe; the democratically elected Ukrainian Parliament supported that. Yanokovych, however, was a pro-Russian toady who wanted Ukraine to move toward Moscow and the east, and join the EuroAsian Economic Union.
So, who went against the will of the people? Yanokovych. Who “overthrew” the democratically elected government (Parliamant)? Yanokovych, by going against the will of the people and its elected representatives.
You have been outed as a pro-Russian troll who readily carries Putin’s propaganda. Just man up and admit it.
Russia/Soviet/Coldwar2 PING!!!
Putin is at it again!
To be added or removed from the list please Freepmail me!!!
“NATO is sighing in relief that Russia did not test Article 5. They would have failed.”
Perhaps because they do not want war (and any sane nation would not want war). You, however, seem giddy about Russia launching an unprovoked invasion of its neighbor. You are a war monger.
He should have said this in the beginning. That is what the Ukrainians get for electing a professional clown.
You know, I hope we can see that this is the reason that Trump was denied and cheated out of his second term. He was not supposed to win a first term. He was not WEF/globalist. They were in the process of getting all they ever wanted until Trump. He had to go. Biden was installed and life has been fast forward NWO since then.
I am sure Putin was well aware of what was coming after past experiences with the US WEF cabal that has been running the leaders of Ukraine for a long time. He knew they want him gone and he knew how they do it. Surprise surprise!
By me sayng this I am not loving on Putin, I am not loving on the WEF/ global cabal either. I just love America and feel so sad watching it dissolve into a disaster. But we have to expect our government to act in the best interests of this nation and not the world. I am not seeing that anymore.
Keep in mind that those regular people of Ukraine are just as Obama referred to us as “bumps in the road” to all the wonderfulness they had planned for the world. /s
I agree. We talk about Putin wanting his empire back. Yet our very own nation has demanded regime changes across the globe. Many times creating revolutions to make it happen. That’s one reason for the severe sanctions in Russia. To make it so unbearable for the citizens, they start their own to ouster Putin.
He could have said this a month ago and avoided the bad stuff that’s been going on.
This is a propaganda war for Biden and Hell for the people of Ukraine.
I agree, this was all avoidable if the Democrats hadn't stolen the last election, installed a dementia addled MORON in the White House and projected weakness to the entire world.
#BidenIsPutinsBitch
I’ve heard contradictory statements on this, stating that in context it sounds like he’s pushing for NATO alliance through other means, such as an alliance with Poland and the Baltics, or is using this as a negotiation angle to obtain NATO membership.
Pursuing NATO membership is in the Ukrainian constitution, and the Ukrainian parliament isn’t going to agree to drop NATO membership.
