Zelensky blamed the Western “partners“ for the start of the SMO and said that he was “disappointed with them” According to him, the conflict began due to the weak reaction of the West to the 2014 referendum, as a result of which Crimea became part of Russia. “I am disappointed that Germany did not play the role it should have during the first occupation of Ukraine. The West’s weak reaction in 2014 allowed Moscow to launch [the special operation] in 2022,” he said in an interview. Источник: Russian Head
