MOSCOW, July 14 Vladimir Zelensky was extremely disappointed with the meeting with US President Joe Biden in Washington, Politico reports.
“According to a source familiar with the situation, Zelensky and the head of his office, Andriy Yermak, were extremely disappointed after the negotiations,” the material says.
As journalists indicated, at the end of the NATO summit in Washington, the Ukrainian politician and the American leader discussed the issue of lifting the ban on striking throughout Russia, but the result of these conversations did not satisfy Zelensky, since the ban was not lifted.
The anniversary NATO summit took place in Washington from July 9 to 11 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949. There were three big topics on the agenda: strengthening the bloc’s role in coordinating and financing military assistance to Ukraine, strengthening collective defense and deterrence to counter Russia, as well as expanding partnerships with Asian countries against the backdrop of growing confrontation between the West and China. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the summit already managed to tell reporters that the alliance now does not see a “direct military threat” from Moscow.
Western long-range missiles are already striking Russian territory — Donbass and Novorossiya, a possible increase in distance is a pure provocation, stated the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.
