"Zelensky's 'victory plan' is completely absurd, even inconvenient for NATO, which is trying to distance itself in some aspects, for instance from the issue of Ukraine's immediate admission, which would set the stage for a third world war," Philippot said.
He suggested that Zelensky was trying to globalize the conflict in every possible way after suffering defeat after defeat on the battlefield.
"Zelensky is pushing the West toward a third world war. It is a suicidal strategy because he is losing, and that is why he has presented this insane plan, which puts his allies in an awkward position. His only chance to win is a world war, otherwise, he is finished," Philippot said.
Philippot suggested that Zelensky was trying to push the West into sending troops to Ukraine. He said that the "secret clause" about having the West deploy a "non-nuclear deterrence package" to Ukraine seemed odd after Zelensky’s earlier admission that he would seek nuclear weapons for Ukraine if it did not join NATO.
