    Ukraine’s funding disappeared as one of the concessions for the 45 day funding bill while republicans pick a new speaker.

    I think Zelensky is trying to play this smart because it ties something he needs (military funding) to something republicans need to support (Israel)

    Whether or not he agrees with it doesn’t matter, because as a leader this is the best move for him to get funding back.

      100% this… words are cheap, and he needs to do everything he can for his country… supporting palestine or staying silent gets him nothing, and potentially loses quite a bit in retaliation

      it really doesn’t matter what he thinks is fair or just
