“Zelensky is desperate and making decisions that are destroying Ukrainian assets with little gain, and not likely to expel the Russians.”
Zelensky is the military strategist for Ukraine? Are you sure the strategists aren’t woke US and NATO generals and diplomats? In Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and WWII the US military directed the war. Typically the nation paying the bills is the one determining the strategy and determining the battle plans. Remember US military “advisors” were on the ground in Vietnam before U.S. ground troops were officially brought into combat.
NATO/US are leading the war effort (commanding officers), and Zelensky is said to be refusing their ‘advice’ at some points. He has a job to do and he’s not letting military strategy get in his way.
