Getting desperate, probably negotiating his escape in the coming weeks. The Russian steamroller is ready to go and this loser is forcing 16 yr olds into uniform at gunpoint. How many people here know that Zelensky spoke only Russian when he first got elected?

Like his US visit. These are not so much political visits as they are intel updates. Suspect that the government area in Kiev is the focal point of surveillance and counter surveillance. Also members of the inner circle are probably suspect.

What this means, is that for their intelligence assessment , the west is probably very hesitant to give Tier 1 type briefings. So Zelinski goes to DC and London.

Ah yes. Because we know President Roosevelt and Churchill did exactly that during WW2, right? They fought on the frontlines. I'm sure Putin is there too and I bet it isn't even for a photo op!

Churchill had been fighting many time in the front lines, in fact he was captured by the enemy and held for a time. Go learn about history before you try to use it as a weapon fool

Zelensky is nothing more than a b grade ex comedian that has never been, and cannot handle present events. He is a puppet, and the sole reason negotiations aren't taking place
