NewsX World: Zelensky’s Speech yesterday at The Hague
In this hourly news bulletin, I come on at minute 3.45
Fresh from the highly supportive meeting with European leaders in Berlin a day earlier, Zelensky sets out before Dutch legislators his demand that the peace agreements also foresee condemnation of Russia’s aggression and thereby uphold the principles of international law.
As I characterize his speech, “[Zelensky] is satisfied that his view of the war is now being upheld by the Europeans, namely that Russia has lost the war, it should capitulate, it should pay reparations, it should punish its leaders, and so forth. This is the most remarkable propaganda that one could ever hear. The loser is declaring that the winner is…the losing side and must capitulate.”
The truly shocking feature of the speech is that it would appear that the Americans in Berlin on Monday, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, did not object. Were there consistency in US policy, they should have risen from their seats and walked out. Instead, we are told at the start of this news bulletin, that the USA will participate in the plans to ensure Ukraine’s security which includes European boots on the ground. And that will never be accepted by the Russian side, as Trump knows very well.
I await further news from Washington on what Team Trump has actually agreed to. But the situation at this moment does not look good for anyone awaiting peace in the foreseeable future.
Zelensky is an addle-pated shill and master thief. I hope he earns his just reward. As for Europe, the only real leaders in that groups of hand-picked puppets have been robbed of their votes, guaranteed with membership. But there is no law in the EU today. The law is whatever the Stepford Leaders in Brussels demand.
