Democratic lawmakers rushed to defend Volodymyr Zelenskyy after the Ukrainian leader was publicly berated by Donald Trump in a disastrous Oval Office meeting.
The US president accused Zelenskyy of “gambling with world war three” while his vice-president, JD Vance, called the Ukrainian leader “disrespectful”, before cutting short talks aimed at kicking off the process of ending Kyiv’s three-year war with Russia.
Zelenskyy abruptly left the White House soon after without signing a rare critical minerals deal with the US that Trump has said is the first step toward a ceasefire agreement that he is seeking to broker between Russia and Ukraine.
Protecting the people in eastern Ukraine was a justification they used, which they wouldn’t have been able to use if the right-wing government the US propped up in kyiv hadn’t passed discriminatory laws and failed to stop azov and friends from shelling them.
This has been debunked. The Donbas “rebellion” would have fizzled out without military support from the Kremlin (Igor Girkin himself admitted to this), Boris Nemtsov was assassinated for publishing a report on putin’s proxy war in the Donbas. But after an surprise invasion and 3 years of debating with people like you, if you can’t get the facts right, there is no point in debating anymore.
Man they are in force today. Reminds me of all the anti Biden Gaza bots. I am sure they are happy about Trump’s casino going up soon. So much better than arranging a cease fire.
