In a presidential decree issued Friday, July 23rd, that came following rare public criticism of Zelensky, Vadym Prystaiko was removed from his positions as Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK and as Ukraine’s envoy to the International Maritime Organisation.
The United Kingdom—and with it its international allies—“are not Amazon,” he declared, judging Ukraine’s constant demands for arms shipments to be somewhat excessive.
In contrast to the previous day, when NATO accession was denied to him, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed satisfaction with the new, multi-year pledges made by G7 countries. “The security guarantees are an important development as we move into NATO, this is very important,” he said.
NATO has entirely subsidized the defense of Zelensky’s country, even to the point where the U.S. doesn’t have enough artillery shells to defend itself if attacked.
Ukraine gets no NATO invitation, but is allowed to skip the waiting list in the future while allies pledge billions of military aid; France commits long-range monster missiles; Turkey bags fighter jet sales; and the U.S. explains morally questionable choices.
Eleven Ukrainian prisoners of war were transferred from Russia to Hungary inflaming existing tensions between Ukraine and the Orbán government as the European Union is also seeking answers from Hungary over the affair.
Bearing gifts and promises, Trudeau arrived unannounced in Kyiv to become the 20th NATO leader to officially support Ukraine’s NATO membership bid, “as soon as the conditions allow.”
Details of the leaked plan align surprisingly well with the evidence produced by previous investigations, strongly pointing at Kyiv as the mastermind behind the sabotage. The U.S. knew but couldn’t, or wouldn’t, prevent it.
The strikes came on the heels of a slickly produced video, meant to rally Ukraine and its allies, which strongly hinted at an imminent Ukrainian counteroffensive.
