President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for more sanctions against Russia after massive air strikes pounded Ukraine for a second straight night, killing at least 20 people, even amid reports his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is ready to make a deal Moscow, meanwhile, claimed it’s retaken three towns in Kursk, Russia, with some reports saying Ukrainian troops in the region are surrounded.

Ah DEMANDS MO’ sanctions. And, while you’re at it, GIBS-ME-MO’-BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars.
Napoleon and Hitler had such good luck invading to the East.
Zelensky needs to get to the table. Trump is about out of give a chit for this guy.
Yet another instance of incompetent generals allowing thousands of troops to be surrounded. SMH.
Zelensky still hasn’t figured out that he’s not calling the shots and he’s in no position to make any demands.
He’s not very bright.
Midget must not understand plain English. Here. I’ve translated it for him.
Ви не тримаєте всі карти.
(Hint. Think cards.)
Why did Ukraine take Kursk if they didn’t want to use it as a trade bit in a peace deal? Now it may be too late.
Until Europe imposes all the same sanctions on India as on Russia then you can be sure they are just bluffing. India is a huge trading partner with Russia. Sanctions only work when all direct and indirect trading partners are cut off.
Gonna party like it’s 1943.
Demands.
spit
Nope!
Not gonna happen.
You pay the price for disrespecting President Trump in the Oval Office.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi should become President. It’s probably time for Ukraine to hold their elections.
Russia began to mobilize when they realized they were in trouble (a little late).
That said, as Russia mobilized they began to amass a larger and larger force, the experience level of their troops grew and some of the high tech we provided lost its hard hitting effect as the Russians devised tactics, techniques or technologies to counter it.
Any idea of Ukraine winning was a dream that slipped away in 2023.
This is simply a war of attrition where Russia has the numbers and Ukraine is incapable of achieving the kill ratio required to win.
So what's the point?
Mr. Z EXEMPLIFIES the reason this war has dragged on for YEARS past any logical military and economic standpoint. It's about political self preservation.
You have people in power who's survival hinges on this war. They said things, did things, shook hands, and took pictures, to where they are in a corner today. Not everyone is as greasy as Lindsey Graham and able to make a 180 on this issue. He's the exception. Many of these folks will go under, they will tank politically if this war is brought to an end.
It's a sick reality where some in political leadership are forced to stay the course even if it makes no sense anymore.
Little Zeke has still not figured he is being used by the EU globalists.
Until Europe imposes sanctions that don't allow it to import more Russia petroleum and natural gas -- worth as compared to the "worth" sent to Ukraine -- this is just a fascinating bit of Kabuki theater.

This could have been prevented if this asshole had not been trying to hold up Trump last week.
Zelenskyy demands...
Like a termite this guy keeps demanding.
It's a story as old as time and one that has played out countless times in history.
The only thing that changes is that these days it's possible to generate millions of deaths in a very short time frame.
I guess “massive” is a relative term. When I read “massive”, I think of the bombing if Dresden or somerh8nf, where thousands or tens of thousands die.
