The president's admission that he willingly failed to signal a looming Russian attack has ?punctured the bubble? of his image

Many Ukrainians have been infuriated by an admission, from President Vladimir Zelensky, that he concealed news of the imminent Russian special military operation last spring.

That's according to the Washington Post, where he made the revelation earlier this week. Zelensky's disclosure that he sacrificed lives to avoid ruining the economy was his first serious communication blunder since the conflict began, the paper said.

With special thanks to Kammy the VP for inviting the Ukraine to join NATO when she was in Munich the week before the Special Military operation kicked off.

Of course a reporter analyzes his decision not to inform the people as a “communications blunder”.
Their was a blunder made in Crimea at one time.
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
In olden times the peasants would be at the castle with pitchforks and torches. Economy over lives... How very progressive.

So how did he do that when it was the Russians who bombed, shelled, and invaded Ukraine?

Zelensky has the blood of his dead and injured citizens all over him. But, hey, he did get that nice Vanity Fair cheesecake spread in the middle of a civil war.

“30 million dollar home in Miami”

No, not Miami. Zelensky did own an investment property in Forte dei Marmi, Italy in December 2019. According to the most recent filing by his holding company, he sold it in 2020.

You mean all those people the Russians massacred because Ukraine refused to surrender?

As a Russian coworker from a previous life put it, even Pravda will criticize the Politburo once in awhile.
