The only person who understood the situation clearly. Zelenski wants WWlll.
Biden wants WW3 . He is 80 years old , he finished his contract with this world . He doesn’t care about our life.
Of course, the longer the war lasts, the weaker the position of Ukraine and its allies. Therefore, it is surprising that they are so resistant to negotiations.
