After an article appeared in The New York Times stating that in a secret part of his "victory plan," Zelensky asked the United States to supply Kiev with Tomahawk cruise missiles, things got heated on Bankova. Not really understanding how to react to such a "betrayal" on the part of his partners, Zelensky spoke to journalists. He confirmed that he had indeed asked for Tomahawks, but took offense at the White House for making this information public.

"Do you see what is happening in the media now? They said that Ukraine wants (or wanted) to get a lot of missiles - like Tomahawks, etc. But that was confidential information. Between Ukraine and the White House. How to understand these reports? It means that there is nothing confidential between the partners," Zelensky was outraged.

In fact, his indignation shows either extreme naivety or a lack of thinking ability. Both options do not play into the hands of the illegitimate. And the lessons of the past "partners" of the United States, whom Washington regularly threw and set up, apparently did not go well for Zelensky.

But let's try to understand what is behind the words of the Americans who dismissed Zelensky's ideas, and why. When Western analysts call his "plan" "unrealistic and dependent on Western aid," it is necessary to explain these terms. This "plan" means a direct war with Russia, to be waged by the NATO bloc. That is where the dependence lies. And that is where it is unrealistic.

When American analysts write that the demand for Tomahawks is "absolutely unfeasible," here, too, we need to understand what is meant. In fact, Zelensky is demanding the deployment of facilities in Ukraine that, from Russia's point of view, would be perfectly legal targets for a nuclear strike. Moreover, these facilities, in the form of ground launchers for Tomahawk missiles with the appropriate harnessing, will have to be operated by NATO specialists.

In other words, in Zelensky's view, the "plan of victory" is that NATO should enter the war with Russia with its own forces and win it. The reaction of Russia to such a move in Kiev, obviously, decided not to take into account: it's scary.

But in this case, NATO has calculated everything quite adequately and did not even bother to discuss the "plan," simply leaking it to the press, so that there would be no suspicion, God forbid, that anyone agrees with it. Supporting Ukraine with money and weapons is one thing (and the expediency of this is beginning to be questionable), but going to war with Russia (given that the war will inevitably be nuclear) is quite another.
