Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

    I think Ukraine is starting to treat us like they're used to treating the soviet union expecting everything yesterday and really ungrateful when they get it

      Wow what a shitty thing to say and upvote.

      Ukraine was a founding member of the USSR, the second largest republic, the bread basket of the whole country, and a major industrial centre.

      You pulled the idea that Ukrainians were some ungrateful exploiters during the USSR period straight out your arse.

      But to suggest that Ukrainians should be grateful to the West for the proxy war the West is so happy to wage to the last Ukrainian is something else.

      Really disappointing to see this liberal brain rot upvoted here.

        that's a fair point I suppose it's just really frustrating to see billions of my governments money being poured into this while food and energy prices go up and up

        and it's hard not to link that with the Ukrainians on tv who keep talking about how we need to do more and more and just generally acting like princes of the city.
