“You can’t do it, give us the license, we’ll build the missiles ourselves!” Zelensky publicly reprimanded the US. ‘You can’t do it, give us the license, we will make the missiles ourselves!’ Zelensky openly scolded America

Amidst the ongoing fierce war between Russia and Ukraine, a sensational and extremely aggressive statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has come out, which has created a stir in the diplomatic circles all over the world. Zelensky’s attitude, which has always appealed to Western countries and America for arms, seems to have completely changed this time. This time Zelensky has openly challenged not anyone else but his biggest helper and superpower, America. Zelensky has told America in a very sharp tone that if they are not able to prepare missiles and modern weapons on time to help Ukraine, then they should hand over the license for its manufacturing to Ukraine, so that Ukraine can make these missiles in its own country.

Zelensky’s anger over delay in supply of arms

This anger of the President of Ukraine has not erupted suddenly, but the reason behind it is the long delay in delivery of weapons and Washington’s lax policies. Zelensky believes that Russia is continuously launching missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities, while military aid from the US and NATO countries is stuck in paperwork and political statements. During a press conference, when he was asked a question about the shortage of weapons, he directly targeted the American leadership and said that Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the frontline do not have time. If American defense companies are not able to speed up production, they should transfer technical blueprints and licenses to Ukraine.

Zelensky’s big strategy behind ‘Give license, we will make missiles’

Strategic experts believe that Zelensky’s statement has deep political and military implications. Zelensky wants to show the world that Ukraine is not just a helpless country dependent on foreign aid, but has a strong and old Soviet-era defense industrial base of its own. If the US gives Ukraine the legal right and technical support to manufacture its Patriot or other long range missiles, then Ukraine can rapidly start production of weapons in its underground factories. This will not only reduce the cost of weapons, but will also get rid of delays in the supply chain.

Zelensky’s ultimatum creates panic in Joe Biden administration and NATO

After this very strong and blunt statement of Zelensky, there has been a stir from Washington to Brussels (NATO Headquarters). US Defense Ministry (Pentagon) officials are reacting cautiously to this statement, because transferring the license of sensitive missile technology to another country is a very complex process in terms of US laws and global security treaties. On the other hand, a debate has erupted in the US Parliament (Congress) as to whether Zelensky’s attitude is right as an ally country? Political analysts believe that after this statement, a new tension may be seen in the relations between America and Ukraine in the coming days.
