Officials stated that Zelensky is engaging in "crazy steps" that threaten escalation "far beyond Ukraine," adding that Kiev “has moved to feverish action” as Zelensky tries to stay in power after the end of his official term in May.

The nurses are all crying and yelling that he's gone. The doctor just keeps smirking and pushing the button while the skin sizzles. And the smell...
