Tja, ne vem, kaj je Zelenski v resnici pričakoval, toda tako članstvo Ukrajine v Natu kot 200 tisoč Nato vojakov v Ukrajini sta popolna iluzija političnega analfabeta. Seveda gre najbrž samo za šov, kajti ta tri leta vojne so se Zelenskemu, njegovi družini in eliti na oblasti izjemno splačale. Dokler traja vojna in priteka ameriški in evropski denar, ta sprega na oblasti zajetno bogati. Problem zanje se bo začel, ko se vojna konča.

Preventing a war between Russia and NATO, not Ukraine winning, was one of Joe Biden’s three aims.

That is why, throughout the war in Ukraine, the U.S., together with Germany, had blocked the accession of Ukraine to NATO.

In September Zelenski’s last attempt with Biden to gain NATO access ended without success:

[Zelenski’s] appeals got a mixed reception. On the question of Ukraine’s NATO membership, Biden would not budge.

That had always and will always be the case.

Despite having been rejected again and again Zelenski used the hope of gaining NATO (and EU) membership for Ukraine to market the war he was waging.

Now, as he is obviously losing it, he is blaming those who never promised NATO membership to him for not receiving it (machine translation):

The West’s promises to one day accept Ukraine into NATO were a “lie.” This was stated by President Vladimir Zelensky at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Moreover, according to him, the United States and Germany maintained contacts with Russia throughout the war.

“From some states, I think it was initially not a very transparent policy, they did not support us in NATO. And they were just false words that yes, Ukraine will be in NATO. It was not fair to Ukraine and to the Ukrainians. And it was also not fair from our leaders. When some of our leaders said and promised that we would be in NATO. And it wasn’t fair either. And I believe that there was a weak position of Germany and the United States. Because they had a dialogue with the Russians. And I believe that they lost this dialogue. We lost, because they always appeal to the fact that there were once some agreements with the Russians,” Zelensky said.

That false accusation against foreign countries, of promising access to NATO but not giving it, will not be received well.

As Strana remarks (machine translation):

Recall that Zelensky himself has repeatedly stated that Ukraine will be in NATO.

Also, Kiev is now demanding admission to the Alliance as a condition for making peace with Russia. At the same time, Zelensky admits that the United States and Germany are against this .

…

Dead set against any peace negotiations Zelenski’s demands are getting more shrill by the day.

Next to immediate NATO membership he now demands a peacekeeping force that does not exist:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is seeking a meeting with US President Donald Trump, says that at least 200,000 European peacekeepers will be needed to prevent a new Russian attack after any ceasefire deal.
…
“From all the Europeans? Two hundred thousand, it’s a minimum. It’s a minimum, otherwise it’s nothing,” Zelensky said when asked about the idea of a peacekeeping contingent on an interview panel after delivering his speech.

That number is around the size of the entire French armed forces, estimated at just over 200,000 by France’s defence ministry in 2020.

He also wants U.S. forces to be part of it.

There is no chance of getting either.

Zelenski is done with and he knows it. It is unlikely that he, in three month or so, will still be in place.
