‘I need ammunition, not a ride’: Zelensky declines US evacuation offer
New York Post ^ | Feb 25, 2022

The US government offered to evacuate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from Kyiv — but he declined.

“The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” Zelensky said, The Associated Press reported, citing a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation.

Zelensky, 44, instead chose to remain in Ukraine’s capital as Russian forces brought the fight to the city streets, where gunfire and explosions were heard overnight Friday into Saturday.

Not sure I believe this, I seriously doubt he’s still there.

If he had accepted their offer of an escape ride, Biden’s Bumblers would have leaked word of the situation before Zelensky could buckle his seat belt in that escape vehicle.
They would be demanding bragging rights as having ‘saved’ the Ukrainian President. “Aren’t we great? Look @ Us!!”

"I read that Biden has now OK’ed $350m worth of arms for Ukraine."

Have you noticed that the Dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to? $350 M will only build 5 miles of freeway in California. Under Senile Biden that probably bought a bag filled with two rusty knives, a baseball bat, and a couple of used bandaids.

Well it looks like the Poles heard him.

You know how many Biden’s it takes to play “Pull my finger” with the Pope? Right! Just one, Brandon. FJB

15 minutes ago Zelensky posted a live message of himself on the presidential twitter account standing outside in front of landmark building in Kiev encouraging the Ukrainian people

It’s all so absurd.

There isn’t any communications going on that the Russians don’t tap into. All these stories are manufactured.

I was at Niagara Falls in Canada when Zelensky was touring there with his wife. He seemed like a nice young man. He’s short, his wife is a beautiful tall blonde. It breaks my heart thinking of him in such a nice surrounding and now what’s happening to him.

Probably not much of a Biden fan after seeing how this invasion is going. NATO huffs and puffs, but doesn’t stop much of anything very quickly.

Maybe Zelensky should depose Biden.

Zelensky was telling Joe to STFU and stop talking about Putin invading.

Because basically it put Putin on the spot, to either invade or to look weak. But Joe wanted to be able to say that he stared down “Corn Popov”.

I'll give him credit. He appears to be still in Kiev.
