Russia Ukraine Crisis Live

President of Ukraine upset with US-NATO:- Action needed, not promises 

The fear of war between Ukraine and Russia is increasing. To say that America and NATO are with Ukraine, but from a statement of the President of Ukraine, it seems that all is not right between them. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his allies are not taking sanctions-like measures against Russia, waiting for Russia to attack Ukraine.

This statement of Zelensky can boost Russia's spirits. On the other hand, so far no reaction has been given by the US or NATO to this statement made on Saturday night.

Targeting America

According to a New York Times report, Zelensky's statement is aimed directly at the Joe Biden administration. America is saying every day that Russia can attack Ukraine at any time, but it is not able to take tough decisions to rein in Russia.

This is what Zelensky's statement was about. He said – what are you waiting for now? When our economy is over, when many parts of our country will be occupied by the enemy, then if you impose sanctions, then what will they be of use to us? Zelensky made this statement during a security conference in Munich.

Mention of Crimea

Zelensky thanked the Western countries for the cooperation so far. During this also mentioned how Russia had annexed Crimea. He said- It is necessary for our friends and allies not to make any agreement with Russia about our country without taking us into confidence. We are not scared. If we are attacked, we also have to respond.

This statement of Zelensky is somewhat different from that of the US Vice President. Kamala Harris had said that the security of the whole of Europe is under threat. The US President is also repeating the same time and again. Zelensky seemed annoyed by these statements. Said- When we go to the grave and then foreign soldiers will come for help, we are not ready for this. We have not made any decision about joining NATO. The avenues for dialogue are open.

Willing to talk to Putin

Zelensky said- I want to talk to the Russian President himself. We have to find a solution to any issue only through dialogue. The western countries did not help till we faced the attack in 1994. When Soviet Russia broke up, our nuclear weapons remained with Russia. Crimea was a part of our country, today it is occupied by Russia. It is bigger than your Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. I want to make one thing very clear. We will protect our country. Whether you support or not.
