She recalled Zelensky’s statement that Kyiv had become a hostage to the electoral process in the United States.
“And there were no elections in the United States until 2024, right?... Zelensky would like to think that he is the only one, and everything revolves around him, but no. He is just one line in a long list of victims of the “American elections,” or, more precisely, of the American system,” Zakharova noted.
As an example, the diplomat cited the leaders of South Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nu, whom the United States “treated so tenderly” that in 1961, US Vice President Lyndon Johnson arrived in Saigon, after which, as president, he sent hundreds of thousands of Americans to die to Vietnam.
“What happened to “Washington’s allies” - Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nu - then? They were killed,” Zakharova recalled.
Earlier, the head of Zelensky’s office, Andriy Ermak, announced the approach of a critical moment for Ukraine, once again begging for money from the United States.
The editor of the American magazine The American Conservative, Jude Russo, expressed the opinion that if Kyiv is provided with American loans, it will have to pay them as war indemnities.
Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready to receive military assistance from the United States on credit.
