Zelensky visits troops near 'most difficult' front line
BBC News.com ^ | December 6, 2022 | Staff Report

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has visited troops in the eastern Donetsk region, which Russia claims as its own after a sham referendum.

The area - particularly around the town of Bakhmut - is now the main focus of fighting after Ukraine's forces retook Kherson in the south last month.

President Zelensky called it the "most difficult area that protects not only the east, but our entire state".

Russia and its proxies have controlled parts of Donetsk since 2014.

But speaking on the Day of the Armed Forces, Mr Zelensky said he believed Ukraine would take back all the land occupied by Russia, including Crimea.

Well, if that’s true then it’s a bit gutsy.

Oh, and Zelensky might be a corrupt pervert. I don’t care. He didn’t send his tanks across a sovereign border. He’s not the bad guy in this. He’s not the war criminal.

Not Sochi, the Russians abandoned that place like the roaches they are after Ukraine hit the Russian Airbases 600 km from the front.

Man, you eat that slop up, don’t you?

“the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.”

Yep, Goebbels saw you coming.

_______________

I think it’s safe to say that he’s not globohomo dancing in heels wearing nasty vinyl pants and laundering millions and millions of American taxpayer dollars.

Trying to take back Crimea is moronic. I hope this is just a bargaining position.

What’s ‘most difficult’ about this front line?

Finding a green screen?

Zelensky is a leader. Remember when putin’s war started and they asked Zelensky if he needed a ride out of Ukraine and he said:

“I don’t need a ride, I need ammunition”

He still hasn’t left

“Trying to take back Crimea is moronic. I hope this is just a bargaining position.”

***************

Its not a bargaining position, its the official policy of the retards running the United States.

On Nov 10, 2021 Binken and his Ukrainian counterpart Kukeba, updated the US-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership.

In section 2: Security & Countering Russian Aggression

Here is the language of the 2nd part of section 2

2) The United States does not and will NEVER recognize Russia’s attempted annexation of Crimea and reaffirms its full support for international efforts, including in the Normandy Format, aimed at negotiating a diplomatic resolution to the Russia-led armed conflict in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine on the basis of respect for international law, including the UN Charter. The United States supports Ukraine’s efforts to use the Crimea Platform to coordinate international efforts to address the humanitarian and security costs of Russia’s occupation of Crimea, consistent with the Platform’s Joint Declaration.

Our should’ve never been ally(Ukraine) needs the US so they can get Crimea back. Let that sink in.

Neither Ukraine or Russia are worthy of an alliance with the United States. Nothing historically, culturally, commercially, or geographically says:

“Hi buddy, thanks for being a friend & an ally.”

Translation: The Ukrainian army is getting its ass kicked, so much so Zelensky can't deny.

And, things will get worse, much, much worse as there has been a Russian buildup underway for weeks.

Here’s another actor.

Do you consider RR to also be a grifter because he was an actor or do you have more specific reasons for calling Zelensky one?

Reagan was a former actor and a real President.

Zelensky is a comedian, dancer, and actor, installed by Soros, and is playing the role of the president.

This grifter is milking the world dry with no accountability for spending, grifting continually, and collecting mansions.

You say installed, yet he won election in 2019 and beat incumbent poroshenko 75% to 25%. So me thinks you still don’t seem to know why you hate him so. Envy?
