KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
So you think he doesn’t have a lot of support anymore in Ukraine? In the news coverage in our country they basically think everyone supports him and he is the legitimate president. In the EU he is almost worshiped.
Well, you can ask the people getting kidnapped by his regime how much they support him. Or their family. Lots of people are afraid to leave their homes, others always carry a few thousands dollars to bribe kidnappers into not kidnapping them. That shit is so fucked up it’s unreal. He is only supported by people who think (whether correctly or not) that it will not happen to them.
I know, I live here as well. It’s so fucked up. But at least with Trump’s administration it’s not taboo anymore to talk about all that shit anymore.
Hard for an outsider to form an opinion. In the west is mostly propaganda or folks are so biased they don’t want to listen to another side. I was against the proxy war since day one, not because I like the Russians - it was clear from the start this could only be solved by negotiations. Even mentioning something that obvious will make you an outcast in most EU countries. It is indeed fucked up.
We are seeing that war truly can transform normal, rational people into relentless fanatics.
