The U.K. on Wednesday said Kyiv should show appreciation for the donations of weapons in order to convince Western politicians to provide further support in its fight against Russia.
What Happened: The U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, speaking on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Lithuania, said he had warned Kyiv that its Western allies were “not Amazon," Reuters reported.
Wallace said Ukraine had to persuade U.S. lawmakers and “doubting politicians in other countries that it’s worth it,” adding that “whether we like it or not, people want to see gratitude.”
Wallace’s comments came in response to media queries about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's grievances about his country not receiving a timeline for NATO membership.
The defense secretary also recalled that he had visited Ukraine last year, during which he was handed a list of requested weapons. “You know, we’re not Amazon,” he said, adding that, “I told them that last year when I drove 11 hours to be given a list.”

Last I checked Amazon wants to be paid. This leech wants it for nothing... not even a thankyou.
He’s truly a despicable character.
Reminds me of Fidel the way he dresses.
‘People Want To See Gratitude’
No, people want to see this insanity STOPPED.
RE: not Amazon....
Which is exactly your problem, Mr.Z. If you had a racket like theirs going on you’d be sending us money instead of waiting for ours. Like adding increased “shipping and handling” or upping the price of Prime.
THAT. ☝️☝️☝️
These people never fail to reveal their vulnerabilities - if you pay attention. Genghis Khan, they ain’t. :)
Ahem...it appears the worm has turned. Z may want to up his security detail.
Biden is Zelinsky’s bitch.
Yep. Z’s and Xi’s.

Zelensky has to keep the Off-shore Accounts at Uber Oligarch levels
Not a Zelinsky fan at all. But these neocon NATO A-holes just spent two years puffing up Ukraine and promising them the world. A year ago they vetoed the ceasefire he signed in Turkey. And NOW when he is on the ropes, they decide to pull the rug out.
Again we are treated to the values of our “betters”.
A lesson for all.
Yep.
He holds dementia joe’s secrets. He does not care about gratitude.
Gee, I wish we had someone like that in OUR government.
Maybe in 2024, if the election isn’t rigged again.
300K-500K Ukraine dead so NATO and the West can continue to push the borders of globohomo?
Ben Wallace should be the one showing some gratitude.

Assad Senior supposedly told Kissinger: “You betrayed Vietnam and Cambodia, some day you will betray Taiwan...”
These elite backstabbers go back a long way.
