Zelenskyy states Russia lost battlefield initiative in Dec 2025, arguing Ukraine has a diplomacy window before winter if sanctions pressure on Russia continues.
If Putin hadn’t decided to forcibly annex parts of Ukraine in the first place, many Russian sons would still be alive and Zelenskyy perhaps wouldn’t be seeking help from the “wrong” people (not that I think that’s an entirely valid way to think about it.)
And as best as I can tell Zelenskyy is not in favour of the way Israel is going about what they’re doing in Palestine, and I’m sure he very much recognises the parallels with what’s happening to his own country.
yeah, pretty sure zelenskyy looks at what israel is doing to a palestine and recognizes it as what russia wants to do to ukraine. He’s not going to be friendly toward a country that embodies russia’s aspirations for brutality.
Early on Zelensky supported Israel (I remember because I was very dissapointed).
Later on he just shut up about it, which I take it as the pragmatical position of not wanting to lose support of two large very pro-Israel allies - the US and Germany - by voicing criticism of Israel whilst at the same time not wanting to actually support Israel after it was clear they were commiting a Genocide.
As we remember from the whole “did you even thank us” circus at the White Wouse, he is a person who has had to endure a ton of bullshit for the sake of his nation.

He has said he wants Ukraine to be a “big Israel”. That was 2022. Israel was just as bad back then, as it has been since it was created.
Ukrainians broadly favour Israel, but since the latest genocide younger people increasingly support Palestine.
Putin doesnt care about the non-muscovites and st.petersberg, hes mostly sending the ethnic russians/poorer regions to thier deaths.
