“Remember the repelled the initial massive Russian attack on Kiev all by themselves”
Yes, the initial invasion. Now 18 months later, all their initial war gear is all gone, blown up, destroyed, and spent. They are ENTIRELY dependent on the west. The west even pays the salaries and retirement of their civil servants, and soldiers, and even their dependents. Everything… which is why they are here begging at the UN today. Cut them off and Ukraine folds.
“I don’t need a taxi, I need weapons” Zelensky is an actor (his pre-war/political vocation) so it may have sounded courageous to the simple and impressional, but obviously he was grifting from the beginning.
Sad

Well, duh. The biggest country in the world has been invading and genocidally erasing Ukrainian cities for near two years. Why does it bother you so much Ukrainians have friends and allies who have a shared history of mass murder at the hands of the Kremlin?
