This week ( after Kharkiv events ) President Zelenski wrote on X " This weakness is not ours, but that of the world, which does not dare treat terrorists as they deserve for three years " Ukraine needs so much more air defence. And today he called on allies to allow Ukraine to use their missiles to strike military targets in russia.

Yeah but the world if in its right mind doesn’t want nuclear war that destroys everything. It’s gambling the lives of everyone on earth.

[@JohnBooth-bl3rh]

@user-ze7vb5cx3y Russia exports oil , not petroleum and fuel for jets. Ukraine is only affecting the production of these two products that affect Russias domestic supply. It’s causing inflation in the Russian economy and hurting its military stocks. It is also having the effect of forcing the Russians to defend their oil refineries with air defence systems. Moving them away from the front line.

US are cowards we must not count on them... Trump is scared of Russians

[@PinPointEye00]

Zelenski has proved himself to be a visionary statesman of the highest order. He speaks the truth and is precise and fearless in his analysis of the war and the current geopolitical turmoil. Above all, his courage is immense. Other world leaders need to look more carefully at him and then look in the mirror.

This language about how NATO "expanded" doesn't make a ton of sense to me. Countries apply to join NATO, usually because they've determined that russia cannot be trusted. NATO doesn't take steps to "expand." For instance, NATO doesn't proactively conquer peaceful neighboring countries. Like some dying empires do when their tsar gets old and crazy...
