Zelensky is 100% responsible. But this civil war enables him to serve as dictator, since now he refuses to hold elections (which he knows he’d lose in a landslide).

you know there are independent polls right? :-) - most recent poll I saw has Zelensky at 91% support. Look I get it, at the beginning of the war there was speculation (magical thinking) by a lot of Russia folks that the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine wouldn't support Kyiv, but that's obviously wrong. Even Putin concedes that, which is why he has tried so hard to flatten Odesa in revenge.

Ukrainians are stubborn people, and Russia trying to commit genocide and destroy their country has had a really remarkable effect on pulling them together as a nation across ideologies, regions and languages.

Nope. 78% of those polled in the Ukraine in the past week blame Zelensky for the ghastly corrupt situation they find themselves in. Very telling.

It’s one big reason why he needs this war to continue, as he can use it as an excuse to remain dictator-for-life and avoid holding an election.
