President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, which in February was suspicious of Western intelligence reports of a planned Russian invasion, asked for preventive sanctions against the Kremlin, but the partners “did not want to hear.” This was stated Presidential Speaker Sergei Nikiforovwrites LIGA.net.
He commented on the words of US President Joe Biden, who said that during the winter Zelensky allegedly did not hear the warning about the danger of a large-scale Russian invasion. Nikiforov recalled that during that period, Zelensky had three or four telephone conversations with Biden: the leaders exchanged views and assessments of the situation in detail.
“Therefore, the phrase “did not want to hear” probably needs clarification. In addition, if you remember, the President of Ukraine called on partners to introduce a package of preventive sanctions in order to encourage Russia to withdraw its troops and de-escalate the situation. And here we can already say that our partners “did not want to hear us”– added the representative of Zelensky.
As wrote, the first signs of Russia’s intentions to invade Ukraine, which was done on February 24, were recorded by Western intelligence a year ago, when Russia was building up its forces in the temporarily occupied territories, and already in the middle of summer it became clear that a small group of Russian officials . planning a massive operation.
