Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the West on Tuesday to tighten sanctions pressure on Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and to step up its support for Kyiv to ensure that Moscow did not succeed in its war.

Western hesitation in its backing for Kyiv and fears of an escalation in the war with Russia were costing time and lives, and could prolong the fighting by years, he told the World Economic Forum in Davos in an emotional speech.

With the West's once-staunch wartime support for Kyiv now wavering amid political wrangling in Washington and Brussels, Zelenskiy said that Europeans needed to understand that Putin's plans went beyond the war in Ukraine.

Of course, his impassioned speech just had to be given at Davos where all the elites frolic and play.

Tell him to hand over the murderers of Gonzalo Lura, an American citizen prosecuted for writing the truth about Zelensky’s corrupt government.

Dear Z-man - keeping up pressure is YOUR job

keep sending those old men into the meat-grinder. That’s your part of the deal.

There is something very wrong with this picture.

Prior to the Russian invasion, the leadership of the Ukraine had a number of choices to make, and they chose poorly (in my opinion).

Now, it becomes apparent that their choices were influenced by "the West", and the obviously false belief that we would back their play a outrance, to the limit, when this was never going to happen.

Now, when things turn to poop, here's this guy in Davos asking for more.

Yes, Russia is on Ukrainian minds a lot, they say it is hard to walk around the wreckage of their homes and apartments without at least giving a passing thought to the people invading them.

How long until his citizens and military turns on him and he lives a luxurious life as an exiled leader, assuming he has a ready escape plan?

Yet their President refuses peace negotiations at the behest of an imbecilic Joe Biden and his donors as they all get enriched as the Ukrainian people suffer.

Why don’t you volunteer to go fight the Ruskies?

If you want the country to surrender to your invading forces then you should lend your hand to the invading army.

Not my problem and I shouldn’t be paying for it.

You’re the one with crocodile tears over the Ukrainians plight while doing nothing to aid them.
