Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for "sufficient pressure on Russia" after a day of missile and drone strikes that killed at least 23 people and as Kirill Dmitriev -- the CEO of Russia's Direct Investment Fund and an envoy of President Vladimir Putin -- met with officials in the U.S.
Zelenskyy said in a Saturday morning post to Telegram that the American reaction was inadequate.
"Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly surprising: such a strong country, such strong people -- and such a weak reaction," he said. "They are even afraid to say the word 'Russian' when talking about the missile that killed children."
Russia's Defense Ministry said the strike targeted a meeting of Ukrainian commanders and "Western instructors" at a restaurant in the city. Ukrainian officials disputed the Russian justification.

As we can see, Zelensky sees it that he has won the battle with Trump.
He thinks that he now has support and is in the driver’s seat. His position is secure enough to direct snark and derision at POTUS.
Trump isn’t the type to tolerate this coke head jackazz.
Problem is Zelensky is a weasel. Stays out of Ukraine a lot.
Why isn’t he whining to England, France and Germany? After all didn’t those behemoths of military power state they were going to take charge in Europe?
This son of a bitch won’t be happy till he not only has American treasure, American blood sent in his country. He can piss up a rope on that one, and the bank needs to close too.
Max Rose was likeable?
Your comment clearly explains WHY Zelensky is still breathing.
He’s always on the run. It’s hard to hit a moving target. Sadly, the Ukranian people have to absorb all the damage he is causing.
The Russians could take him out if they really wanted to. But they won’t for certain obvious reasons.
They would much rather the Ukes or NATO remove or delete him.
To them, he is a big mouth coke head puppet of NATO. He is a dot on a line. LOL
Whose war is this?
Our United States is about four percent of the world's population, with the European Union being larger by at least 100 million, but dwarfed by giants, India and China.
Zelensky apparently hasn't figured out that Biden-Harris did not win the last election. The Biden war -- Russia invaded during Biden's term and with the Biden administration's encouragement and billions of cash flow -- remains Biden's war, as it remains a war between non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia.
Zelensky campaigned openly for the Harris-Walz campaign. He choose poorly.
Moreover, the British and EU "coalition" most recently in the news has turned out to be not even a 'paper tiger,' but just paper. It started out with such bravura"
From a Ukrainian recent source, "Ukraine will soon host the first meeting of foreign military chiefs, including representatives from France and the United Kingdom, to discuss the potential deployment of a military contingent on Ukrainian territory. According to Pavlo Palisa, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, 10 to 12 countries are ready to join the "coalition of the willing" in some capacity, Ukrinform reports."That coalition with the aggressive European talk in Paris, which devolved to "let's have another meeting," is likely why Zelensky is complaining that the Trump-Vance administration is "inadequate."Source: Palisa: 10-12 countries readt to join 'coalition of the willing' Ukrinform 4 March 2025.
"Paris and London intend to work on the peace plan together with one or two other states, Starmer announced Sunday. The detailed plan would then be presented to the United States. Starmer is banking on a 'coalition of the willing' to secure a possible peace plan militarily. Some states already declared themselves ready to participate."

"The French leader said 'several' nations other than France and Britain want to be part of the armed force but added, 'It is not unanimous.' Paris and London say such a force would aim to secure any peace deal by dissuading Russia from attacking Ukraine again. 'We do not need unanimity to achieve it,' Macron said. French and British military officials will work with Ukraine to determine where the contingents should be deployed and how many troops they'd need to be a credible deterrent, the French leader added."

"The latest EU emergency meeting in Paris broke up again with little decided, significant backtracking on earlier commitments to sending peacekeepers to Ukraine and Europe's increasing irrelevance to Ukraine's fate in its conflict with Russia.
"Some 30 countries, the so-called coalition of the willing, attended the meeting in Paris called by French President Emmanuel Macron on March 27. The EU is scrambling to meet the challenge of the US withdrawal of support and US President Donald Trump's soft stance to negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but are being routinely ignored by the White House and sidelined from the talks being held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
"Participants of the Paris summit did not reach a unanimous agreement on deploying military forces to Ukraine as part of a so-called peacekeeping mission, and the format of such a mission remains undecided, said Macron." more....

So we aren’t giving him charity fast enough?

Not our circus, not our monkey. He rejected peace so this is on him. I just wish that someone would hurry up and take the little pervert out so this can all be ended.
One of these days I believe that the Russians will get lucky….Somehow they will get to him.
No need, just send the green goblin's location to the appropriate counter parties
Putin will drop a radiation marble in his pocket. Or a ricin handshke.
I think Putin has been happy to have him. He has now s*** the bed meaning that from almost universal support in the US (other than hard core peaceniks) he is now loathed by the US rank and file. And, Zalensky did it against all odds. After all, who thought people would be rooting for Putin to scrape Zalensky off our shoes.
But now his time has come. He is walking dead and doesn’t know it.
...starting right in Hollywood with those perverts who support him.
