Mick Wallace criticises Volodymyr Zelensky for appearing on Vogue cover saying he’s sending ‘less privileged’ to war

1. Claire Daly ended up on Ukraine’s blacklist but Mick didn’t, I think he feels left out.

2. Oh right, as opposed to the normal privileged deaths in war. Anyway both these men are a little stupid.

3. How do these clowns end up getting elected? He’s such a fucking embarrassment.

   Zelensky is doing whatever he needs to do to keep the world interested in and caring about Ukraine.

4. He’s doing whatever he can to keep Ukraine a contemporary topic so people won’t begin to lose interest.

5. I wonder how many of Mick’s suppliers became less fortunate when didn’t bother paying them?

6. It don’t get any more privileged than being an MEP, maybe Mick could take a trip to the frontline…preferably not from the Eastern side. Also, Putin, Yachts, Oligarchs, and absolutely zero soldiers coming from Moscow. Practically as if War and Peace were written over 200 years ago for today.

7. Whatever you say about Zelenksy, you can’t say that he’s not directly participating in the war.

8. The Ukrainian people want to fight.

9. [“Less privileged” like this guy?](https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexfordpeople/news/sub-contractor-owed-28000-disgusted-by-wallace-speech-27734363.html)

10. Mick really wants that Lada.

11. Can someone from his constituency please tell me how do people feel about him now.

12. In fairness to Wallace and Daly. I think they are largely right in their criticism of Zelensky. The man seems hellbent on keeping the war going at any cost. He was installed after the 2014 Western backed coup in the country.

    The war is being used by politicians and officials in countries in the Western world to justify the railroading and ramming through of societal changes, it’s in their interest to keep it going.

    Every time a politician or official in the Ukraine, NATO or the EU gives a press conference is to do with sending more weapons. As opposed to baking steps that would enable some sort of peace arrangement.

    There is something very fishy here.

13. For fucks sake can we just get rid of those clowns ASAP?

14. Zelensky didn’t choose this war, and although he isn’t on the frontline, he has undoubtedly made huge personal sacrifices and put himself in serious danger, particularly early in the war, when the threat of a quick capture of Kyiv was a real possibility.
    Also, give most of the “less privileged” the option of surrender or war, and see which they pick.

    His media appearances are to keep Ukraine in people’s minds, and build financial and military support. Only an idiot would view it the way Mick has. Targeting Ukraine as at fault here is frankly disgusting.

15. There is something sus about Zelensky appearing on Vogue though, sorry

16. Moscow Mick strikes again

17. Same man stayed in Kiev and ignored multiple requests to evacuate from Americans and EU because there were literal Russian death squads hunting him in the city for the first few days of the year.

18. Not like Mick Wallace ever screwed someone over 😜

19. Is this the same Mick Wallace that nearly drove over me in my hatchback in Enniscorthy blasting through in his BMW x5?

20. Putin sent those men to war, it’s not fair to essentially blame Zelensky for responding to the invasion. Would Mick rather they all lie down and be slaughtered?

21. Mick Wallace. The epitome of a talking penis.

22. I’m not sure how the system works but how is he Ireland’s representative in Europe? Is he handpicked? Elected? Either way, he is an embarrassment to the country.

23. I do wonder would Mick pick up arms to defend his country?

24. because putin is sending out all the oligarchs to the front lines.

25. Ah yeah no mick’s right he should fight on the front line as president that sounds very effective

    Didn’t he stay in Kiev at the start when everyone thought he’d run? The Russians seemed so sure that they banked their strategy on it.

    Mick’s offended he didn’t appear on their list

26. He’s dead right this time

27. The gobshite isn’t wrong.
    Stopped clocks etc

28. lol, you are a multi millionaire who is a tax dodging scumbag

29. Can we stop giving these people attention?

30. Just Shut Up, Wallace. STFU.

31. mick.wallace@europarl.europa.eu

    The whole of reddit Ireland should be letting him know by e-mail that he is a disgrace to our Country

32. I like Zelensky but this is a bit… distasteful.

33. Well ofcourse the moscow mong would say that

34. I’m not a fan of Moscow mick but when he’s right he’s right

35. I mean stating the fucking obvious there, Mick.

36. Bit weird being in vogue ngl

    Normal war time propaganda I suppose

37. Wallace needs to be marched to the Airport and told not come back the Indo would probably still contact the fucker for an opinion to fill their lousy rag.

38. Can we revoke Wallace’s passport and fuck him off the cliffs of Moher please.

39. Tbf it’s bonkers a war time leader is plastering himself on a high fashion mag that glorifies excessive luxury lifestyles.

40. There was a video went up yesterday of Russian soldiers castrating a Ukrainian soldier. Fuck Wallace and Russian pandering.
