It's time for "Cash n carry" Zelenski to get on the battlefield, too. He took billions, enriching he and his wife while Ukrainians died.

[@sudhakarrane7076]

Fault of citizens of Ukraine. They chose a corrupt comedian as their leader and now he turned out to be a dictator. Secondly this comedian is only concentrated to earn wealth amounting to several billions but at the cost of the lives of poor Ukrainians and that too untill the last Ukrainean.

You’re wrong …Do your research….Puppet Zelenski was hand picked by the snakes in Washout dc and installed by the cia in a coup in 2008 which the cia created…..The duly elected prez whom the Ukrainians voted into office was overthrown…..Which makes Zelly an illigitimate prez and just a puppet of nato ….

@@dakmycat3688 You're absolutely right. I could've told the world Russia would not lose even before 24 February 2022. There are dozens of aspects of this war that Russia's got things right, which totally frustrates the collective West. The major problem with the West is that they used their own ruler to measure Russia's. Then they get flustered when Russia does everything in its own stride, purview, geopolitical strategy and long-term preparedness. They found it unpalatable that Russia's been playing the long game of Chess, which it has tons of grandmasters to fall back on. Unlike Western fastfood culture and instant gratification, Russia doesn't indulge in blitzkrieg without knowing it can subsequently fortify control, conquered borders and hearts & minds of the people. Enough said for the moment ...

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written. Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

This move will end Zelensky's reign if not end his life. I think that peaceful measures to end the war are more needed now than 1year ago! Ukraine has zero chances of winning this war in the long run. The government should desperately let go of the land, if people can only change their nationally from Ukrainians to Russians but live peacefully. In times like these, I would expect such a decision to be made instead. A decision like this reduces Zelenskys days on earth since no soldiers will be at peace with him and believe him.
