MOSCOW, October 1 – Novosti. Readers of the British newspaper Daily Mail reacted negatively to Volodymyr Zelensky’s demand to admit Ukraine to NATO on an expedited basis.
Many accused the Ukrainian leader of prolonging the conflict.
“Zelensky is aiming for even more destruction in Ukraine by blocking peace talks with Russia with his announcement of NATO membership,” said one user.
“Maybe if Zelensky hadn’t persecuted Russian speakers, it wouldn’t have come to this? Why not just leave them alone? Why ban the Russian language?” — expressed the opinion of another commentator.
“It looks like Zelensky’s gamble will not pay off. I wonder if the US will leave him to his fate?” Hellouk asked.
“NATO must be crazy to accept this rat,” another reader noted.
“Wipe this idiot in a green shirt off the face of the earth and proceed to a peace agreement,” the users concluded.
The day before, President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions signed agreements on the inclusion of these regions into Russia. Against this background, Zelensky said that Kyiv would immediately apply for an accelerated entry into NATO. However, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recalled that the consent of all 30 participating countries is required to accept a new member into the military bloc, although he promised that the alliance would concentrate efforts on helping Kiev defend itself.
