"What is happening here is a show that Putin could not have dreamed of. I have not heard a single clear answer. The question is not how much weapons or ammunition you have, but whether you are ready to fight and die." With these words, Garry Kasparov attacked NATO at the International Security Forum in Halifax, Canada, for the Alliance's indecision to sufficiently support Ukraine, which is currently the only shield against further Russian aggression in Europe. Kasparov also criticized the White House administration's position on Ukraine in particular, Aktualno reported.
"Oh, we have a Canadian brigade in Latvia." Great. But what orders does this brigade have? If the Russians cross the border, will this brigade fire? We know the answer - you will be consulting for weeks.
I have not yet heard a clear answer to the question... I do not understand how a "plan" drawn up by Trump's business partner can be seriously discussed? This is a broker's deal, a cynical scheme to benefit the Trump family at the price of selling Ukraine," Kasparov said.
"How can it be said that Ukraine should dismantle its fortifications, which literally save Europe?
NATO today is a fiction, NATO does not exist! It is a fake of four letters: N-A-T-O.
The only reason why you are sitting here calmly and organizing holidays is because Ukraine is shedding its blood every minute. If it weren't for Ukraine, Russian tanks would already be in Poland. (...)
You all thought that Ukraine would not hold out. You suggested that Zelensky abandon his country. And he replied that he needed ammunition, not evacuation.
NATO was created for a single war - not for a war in Afghanistan, not for a war in Syria, but to protect a free Europe from Russian aggression.
Ukraine is the only country that is waging this war. And we owe it everything we have today. But no, let's abandon Ukraine. Zelensky is facing such a choice today that I can't even find the words to express it.
As a Russian citizen, I also feel guilty and have no right to advise Zelensky what to do, otherwise I would honestly tell him to send Trump to hell.
How many senators are there here? Are any of you going to tell Donald Trump that he can't do this? You have 85 votes, 85 out of 100. More than enough. So why hasn't this bill passed the Senate yet and nothing is being done?
Putin, Xi Jinping, all the other dictators - they are watching this and applauding. And yes, Russia is fighting with the hands of North Korea, with Cubans, with African mercenaries. And after all this we are still talking about "escalation"?
We have everything. The military, political and economic power is on our side. And yet we are losing this war.
Thanks to Ukraine, Russia is not realizing Putin's dream - to restore the Russian Empire. But if Ukraine is forced to accept this "deal", you can have no doubt - Putin will realize his dream. And then, gentlemen, you will be next. But you are not ready to fight.".
