🇷🇺🇺🇦 Discussion: Relations with Russia and the war in Ukraine

[blueharvest]

Putin has tried to oust Zelenskyy for years. Now, U.S. pressure might do the job.

Some comments by formerly staunch Zelenskyy supporters play into the hands of Russia, and aid Moscow’s yearslong bid to oust the pro-Western leader, critics warn.

Can't bully Zelenskyy, so they want to influence their elections.

He's correct. There was a lack of respect and a certain sense of entitlement. From him and Trump.

I guess the justified criticism of him cozying up to Russia and the potential connections to the Kremlin have made him try to save face and threaten with somewhat of a U turn on the whole situation, after screwing Zelensky at the white house, completely drying up the military aid, plus removing the military intelligence… now decides to portray the good guy once again even though one can read through the lines that there are other motives at play.

The way I see it, he wanted/wants to do Putin’s biding but since it horribly backfired and Europe is stepping up to the plate and not only arming itself dramatically but also stepping forward and backing up Ukraine instead of the US then he now has to try and reverse engineer the situation and try and act as a mediator by begging to bring everyone back to the table. But are there new concessions from Russia? No. So nothing to discuss until Russia backs off from Europe.
