Zelenskyy states Russia lost battlefield initiative in Dec 2025, arguing Ukraine has a diplomacy window before winter if sanctions pressure on Russia continues.
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.
