🇺🇦 Zelensky: America does not want Ukraine in NATO, there may be secret agreements with Russia
Zelensky's harsh statements have surfaced at a time when talks regarding NATO have stalled.
On December 2, after a meeting between Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin, the idea has further solidified that perhaps a secret deal regarding Ukraine's future is occurring between America and Russia.
Zelensky said:
"America does not want Ukraine to join NATO.
What separate agreements America has with Russia, we do not know.
With time, every secret comes to light."
This statement reflects the growing distance between America and Ukraine.
The expedited pathway created for Ukraine at NATO's Vilnius conference in 2023 is now stalled as Trump's new policy has taken a different direction.
⚠️ Possible secret America–Russia deal
Rumors suggest that America may strike an agreement with Russia that includes:
No American missiles or troops in Ukraine
Making Ukraine a secure buffer state
This would mean that Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO would almost come to an end.
🇺🇦 Reaction of the Ukrainian people
Approximately 60% of the Ukrainian public wants to join NATO.
If such a deal emerges, there could be major protests in the country.
