I imagine that is how Zelensky talks every day to his staff and interlocutors.
Ukraine is dominated by mafia culture.
It formed in the corrupt culture of Soviet Marxist power-politics. It continued after 1991 as the country was pulled by powerful oligarchs, acting as a power unto themselves. Then the Nazi-Azov political thugs were empowered by Brussels and NATO, and their style now dominates Ukraine Government
What Ukraine needed for 30 years was peace, neutrality and limited government. It got the exact opposite.
It certainly isn’t ‘nothing but a victim’. There was a reason Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma.
