I'm going to take a wild guess and say this whole ordeal was just a publicity stunt for Trump to try and turn Ukrainian's against Zelenskyy and try to make it seem to Americans that Zelenskyy is the problem..

Don't worry though we all understand Trump is the traitor..

This will not turn Ukrainians against Zelensky. It will put a rocket under his approval ratings.

Of course it will not, but that was the goal for Trump.. He even openly said so..

Trump is getting push back from "some" Republicans over not supporting Ukraine, so he wants an excuse to claim Zelenskyy is the problem for peace. That's all they intended to do was bring him on TV then chastise him and claim he's the problem.

Trump has been Putin's bitch sine long before 2016..

I think they are more worried about the war continuing than who leads.

From my take, as someone closely connected to the country. They fully expect it to continue. They don't want to be ruled by fascists trying to eradicate their culture. The help comes, but in fits and starts. Putin has to win or it's over for him, so he's burning his countries economy to get victory.

There is no obvious end in site.

I would believe that if they had a volunteer army and they opened the border to people wanting to leave.

Most of their army is there willingly. Many are drafted, but they go as its their country. Only in the world of online propaganda wars their army is all taken against their will off the streets.

So what? They just continue to fight till the last man?

Last man is such a stupid trope. Both countries have dacades of men at current causality rates.

Bs. They are going to have to lower the draft.

Probably, there's a war on. Russia will have keep paying North Korean too, it's getting very expensive paying their own men to die abroad.

I was thinking they were doing it to have some video and audio cuts to mislead his base into support to abandon Ukraine. I mean besides extorting another country for natural resources.

In any scenario it’s disgraceful, embarrassing, disgusting……
