NATO tells Ukraine to fight on – Belgian PM
The military bloc wants Ukraine’s President Zelensky to continue the conflict with Russia, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo explained
Fighting against Russia with Western help is the only way forward for Ukraine, NATO members have told President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to Belgian prime minister Alexander De Croo.
“We make it very clear that this war can only be won on the battlefield and we should continue to support President Zelensky and the Ukrainian population as much as possible to be able to win the war on the battlefield,” he told journalists on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid, on Wednesday.

Every member of NATO has taken for granted that Zelensky would fight the Russians on their behalf with no question ask, what is it for Ukraine. NATO will provide the ammo, Ukraine would provide the battle field and the soldiers to fight to the last man. What would Ukraine benefit from this formula? The decision seems to reside in Zelensky alone, with the assumption that the Ukrainians do not mind fighting for NATO and dying for NATO.
The Americans have made war a business for the last 7 decades. War is a very profitable business, to sell weapons. Wars will be created every where and will last for as long as needed as a business. Zelensky has taken war to the next level. His whole country and people, Ukraine and Ukrainians are made for wars. Just pay and they will fight and die for it. War is a national business, a national enterprise.
Zelensky just named his price, US$5 billion a month, to keep on fighting the Russians. '“It’s either urgent aid to Ukraine sufficient for victory, or a delayed war between Russia and you,” Zelensky told NATO leaders.' Some may quibble whether this sum is too little as the sacrifice by Ukraine and Ukrainian lives is hard to measure in monetary terms. But if the price will go into Zelensky and his business associates, that it is a handsome sum. Death soldiers would not receive anything.
So far, the Ukrainian soldiers are happily fighting without a care about what they would get in return for losing their lives or being maimed for life. The big winner is Zelensky and his partners in this business.
What is the war all about, what are they fighting for? Only Zelensky knows what he is in for and his prize, whether there would still be a Ukraine state or Ukrainian alive when this business venture ends would not be an issue of his concern.
The country needs both direct military and financial aid, Zelensky stated, adding that some $5 billion a month was needed to cover its budget deficit. How much of this would go to Zelensky?
