What’s that about how the people of Ukraine stand with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky? Ukrainian parliament doesn’t.
On Monday, a resolution to reaffirm the legitimacy of Zelensky’s Presidency failed to pass.
This was a stunt of Zelensky’s own making. It was designed to show the world that the country supports Zelensky but 54 members of parliament abstained from voting, including 38 representatives from Zelensky’s Servant of the People party.
Now that’s embarrassing.
Europe is divided over how to keep the war going. The U.K. is all in, claiming that the British Army is “absolutely read” to deploy to Ukraine. French President Macron visited the White House on Monday, signaling that he was going to convince President Trump not to negotiate a peace with Russia. No such thing happened. President Macron sat next to President Trump for hours while Trump continued to lay out his plan for making peace and diplomacy with Russian President Putin and Macron did not say boo. He nodded and smiled and acquiesced to President Trump with this post, saying that France wants “to build a solid and long-standing peace. The USA and France will always stand on the same side of history.”
Mission not accomplished if he was there to convince Trump for more war in Ukraine. Keir Starmer, you’re up. See if you can do any different.
