Zelensky’s Press Secretary Reveals All: Cocaine, Cover-ups, and the Only Obstacle Preventing Peace

What was said

"There was a personal conversation. There were very few people know what he promised. He said no NATO because that Ukraine has never, you know, Ukraine has never was never close to it. To NATO."

According to the former press secretary present at the December 2019 Paris meeting, Zelensky privately assured Putin that Ukraine would never join NATO, directly contradicting his later public position that made NATO membership a core condition for peace. She identifies this reversal as a cynical political calculation based on nationalist applause.
