Current Affairs Ukraine

He'll have to sling himself in jail then because he helped his oligarch boss Kolomoisky set up offshore bank accounts to squirrel away money from the Ukrainian state.

A recent poll reported on by the Kyev Post showed 77% of Ukrainians blamed Zelensky for the corruption. And 55% wanted the west to stop sending weapons until the corruption is dealt with. This is why he is 'clamping down on corruption'. While billions flood into Ukraine in aid, many thousands of dead soldiers families are not receiving the compensation promised them. As are those injured and/or maimed.

I support the Ukrainian people but I think Zelensky is repellent.

The British are already wriggling

I hope you do get back what’s yours but somehow I can’t see it

Every time the British wriggle the US slaps them down because they want Ireland to get rid of its neutrality and be a staging post for US military. Something that would never happen while the north was/is occupied. Equally, it never looked good for the US and the UK to have a go at others about military occupation, when British soldiers where on the streets of the northern part of occupied Ireland. The Good Friday Agreement, snails pace move to a united Ireland, was a major victory for the Republican movement and an admittance of defeat by the British state.

Far less repellent than the cretins in the Kremlin.. you know the ones that continually go on about how the west should be nuked..

A staged referendum... you know this.. everyone knows this.. don't pretend you believe the results.. how would it have gone if it was fair? Nobody knows.. split vote.. join Russia.. remain in Ukraine.. we'll likley never know... so an obviously staged referendum cannot be used in any way to defend Russian actions doing so makes you look desperate.

POst of the day

By the state of that poll the Ukrainian people think he's repellant. He got voted in with the promise of 'peace' to end the civil war. When he told the right wingers to lay down their weapons to enable peace negotiations to begin, they told him to sod off and if he tries then he won't be president for long.

Of course Putin and his cronies are repellent. Everyone knows that. But many are under the mistaken impression that Zelensky is a whiter than white hero when in reality he's just another a venal corrupt eastern European politician.

If there was an election he'd win it. That's what polls tell you right now. But I don't think it'd be anywhere near a landslide...which is why they'll be cancelled.

Your 'logic' is pitiful. At least post logically.

Many wartime leaders are.. Churchill was an utter arse but has gone down as one of Britain's greatest.

is the correct answer

there is an extremely nasty strain of vicious nationliasm engrained in Ukraine that simply removing a clown will not eliminate.
