^ Link please.
Despite following the topic day by day, I haven't came across such accusations but public announcements are published, so, if real, it shouldn't be a problem.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky just accused the North Americans of being "lazy" and not helping enough to support his side of the conflict.

I think treating his american allies of "hypocrites" is going to backlash and Putin is slowly looking better each day while Zelensky is showing his true self by the second (32 days into that "war")!

In Canada, we also have a fomer "actor" (art class teacher Justin Trudeau) as President, so we know they are good at acting and saying the right things while hiding the truth.

If someone wants to donate money or humanitarian aid that`s all good.

But an advertising link for mercenaries on a website aimed at those with mental health complications is irresponsible.

Ive seen the videos of western military volunters who went, many were killed or fled talking about their friends dying in a missile strike on their base in W Ukraine, its all over the web and they talk very US (not fake Russians).

They talk of foreign men fleeing out the country being pulled out of the border queue and sent back to the front if they "look military". Many are given just 10 rounds of ammo and told to go to the front where they are cut to pieces.

There`s no air cover (like iraqi`s in 2003), or any military backup support what so ever, also mercenaries are not covered by the geneva convention on military prisoners, so if your captured the enemy can do what they like to you and nobody will know or care.

It's not hard to understand Zelenskyy's sense of desperation for his country and people. This hardly makes him the bad guy.

Your assignment is to sneak into the Kremlin, then spray Putin with a noxious, deadly substance.
Only you have the qualifications for this mission.

Indeed. Zelensky is just doing what any of us would do in a desperate situation. I don't fault him for that. But at the same time I have the firm conviction that nations have to look after themselves and do what's right by their own citizens. Ukraine has repeatedly fallen prey to backhanded Russian political and military tactics that have prevented them from forming relationships with the West. But even if they had any formal protection agreements, I still don't think its right to fight another country's war. If volunteers from around the world want to help Ukraine, fine. I don't see what greater good can come of the United States directly getting involved. I don't agree with our leaders' motives for staying out of Ukraine, but I'm glad we're not going to war with Russia all the same.
