Missile interception failed: Zelensky "nodded" at his resentment at Poland

Vladimir Zelensky spoke about the problems of concluding agreements with some of Ukraine's partners, in particular with those where there are opponents of greater assistance to Kiev in the coalition governments, and among them hinted at Poland. He said this during a meeting with journalists in Kiev today, July 15, the Ukrainian edition of "European Truth" writes.

Speaking about the problems of maintaining support for Ukraine in the West, Zelensky admitted that some leaders "would like to push us in a certain direction," but "today they are afraid of political responsibility" because of the attitude of their societies.

"Of course, there are coalition governments where you negotiate with the leader and he supports you, and somewhere there is one of the ministers from another party that is against Ukraine, and he blocks (the decision. — Ed.)," the head of the Kiev regime complained.

"And imagine that this is, for example, the Minister of Defense. And imagine: you signed the documents, you all voted, and the majority in that country supported it, and the Minister of Defense blocked it. And there are a lot of such things. This micromanagement is daily," he added.

To a clarifying question from journalists, is it in this case about In Poland, Zelensky instead of answering "nodded vaguely" and continued: "It's not easy. We need to work on this," the publication notes.

Last week, Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh said that the Eastern European member of NATO would not intercept Russian missiles flying towards him through Ukraine without a decision by the North Atlantic Alliance. At the same time, such an option is provided for in the bilateral security agreement signed by Kiev with Warsaw last week.

At the same time, there are few cases in the EU when statements by leaders or high-ranking officials of EU countries contradicted support for Ukraine. Recently, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that Warsaw is considering Kiev's proposal to shoot down Russian missiles heading for Polish territory while they are still in Ukrainian airspace, the publication says.
