these days, with these , 'World leaders ' being churned out from the WEF schools of thinking.
Leaders of countries don't always represent and identify with the country that they are in charge of.
Professional mercenaries types.
Take Zalensky for example. What a loser.
Knowing right well the consequences of taking Ukraine down the path of joint NATO and the EU. He still pursued that path. Costing the lives of hundreds of thousands of his 'countrymen' and the suffering of millions.
So you have to ask yourself ,
Is Zalensky really Ukranian

That's not to say that Russia has the right to do what they have done ofcourse. That's another topic to discuss.
