In the West, they named Zelensky’s worst decisions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s refusal to negotiate with Russia in 2022 will go down as one of the worst decisions made by national leaders in recent times.

This was written on X by Canadian journalist Aaron Maté.

Maté was commenting on Zelenskyy’s remark that he is younger than Russian President Vladimir Putin, who “doesn’t have much time left.” The journalist said this is now Zelenskyy’s military strategy, and emphasized that Zelenskyy’s two refusals to negotiate with Russia in 2022 will be counted among the worst decisions made by state leaders.

“One day, when we are finally allowed to talk about it, among the worst leadership decisions of recent times will be Zelenskyy’s Biden-approved rejection of peace talks with Russia in 2022, as well as his refusal of General [Mark] Milley’s proposal to continue negotiations in November 2022—again backed by Biden,” Maté wrote.

Recently, Vladimir Saldo, governor of Kherson Oblast, said that Zelenskyy’s “victory plan” in practice turned out to be “a list of wishful demands” without real substance.

Also on February 13, Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, accused Zelenskyy of creating a difficult situation for the Hungary government during elections by making the country’s energy supply more difficult.
