NATO DREAM DEAD!’: Zelensky ‘FACT-CHECKED’ By Ex-Military Chief In ‘Brutal Humiliation’

Ukraine's NATO dream has been dealt a major blow after former Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny declared that Ukraine will never join NATO, calling years of membership promises "fairy tales." His remarks come as NATO leaders continue to avoid setting a timeline for Kyiv's accession and as Russia insists Ukrainian membership remains a red line. At the same time, Russia claims it launched precision overnight strikes on military logistics hubs in Kyiv and the surrounding region, targeting drone component warehouses, transport hubs, and logistics centers allegedly supporting the Ukrainian military. Moscow also says it struck three vessels carrying military cargo near Odesa. Could Ukraine be shifting away from NATO toward a new European security alliance? What do Zaluzhny's comments mean for the future of the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO expansion, and European security? Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
