KIEV, Ukraine — Until this week, Ukrainians seemed to see President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as beyond reproach, a national hero who stayed in Kiev despite the risk to his personal safety to lead his country against invading Russian troops.

In the interview with The Post, published Tuesday, Zelenskyy cited his fears that Ukrainians would panic, flee the country and trigger economic collapse as the reason he chose not to share the stark warnings passed on by U.S. officials regarding Russia’s plans.

“If we had communicated that . . . then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October...." Zelenskyy said.

Sevgil Musaieva, editor in chief of the Ukrainska Pravda, a Ukrainian news site, posted on Facebook that she was “personally offended” by Zelenskyy’s explanation, saying it called into question the intelligence of Ukrainians. She wouldn’t have fled, she said, and the potential $7 billion-a-month cost to the economy has to be weighed against the lives lost

My guess is that CIA wants him out for General Zalujniy.

What is this lunacy? Russia’s plans were clear when the war started in 2014! Don’t let them erase history, and chalk this down in the history books to a feeble, demented Biden; Ukraine was invaded while Barak Hussein Obama was president.

Seems so.

Remember this guy? He fled Afghanistan with app $400 million. No one asks about him. No one cares.

Money. It's about money.

And the cannon fodder.

They can keep feeding the youth of the Ukraine into the Russian guns, as long as they can keep the long con going with the help of the American neocons and NATO.

Maybe you can start a daily thread post:

Zelensky behaves like the FBI. Effs around a lot, and then cries victim. “Oh no Russia might really be pissed off now after that car bomb which they totally did to themselves just to have an excuse to attack me. please western countries send me lots more $$$$.”

"I give my life to you. I would die for you." Loose translation.

What was stunning to me was Zelensky demanding all men to remain in Ukraine and fight. ...or be arrested....with no warning to Ukrainian families this would be required.

European history since 1914 records war dead at more than 100 million not including civilians. This Ukrainian slaughter adds to those numbers.

And his family was sent abroad, just like the families of the other members of his administration.
