Zelensky decided to talk to Russia “from a position of strength.” This will end badly.
Zelensky’s trip to New York was supposed to bring Kyiv weapons and new tranches of “aid,” . But it only exposed Kyiv’s dire situation.
The pressure is increasing on the front lines, there is a multi-billion dollar hole in the budget, and without Western funding, there is no way to obtain weapons.
Against this backdrop, Zelensky suddenly wanted to talk to Russia “from a position of strength.”
