Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI noticed President Zelenskyy did not tweet any thanks to the repubs who visited him:
Check out his twitter feed:
https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa
For those who can't see it, he uses this twitter page only to get the resources his country needs. He tweets about positive conversations he has with various world leaders. Nothing about the visit from the repubs.
A few days ago he posted:
I thank
@SpeakerPelosi
and all friends of 🇺🇦 in 🇺🇸 House of Representatives for the quick approval of the law on additional financial support for our state initiated by @POTUS. We are looking forward to consideration of this important document for us by the Senate.
"All friends of Ukraine in USA House of Representatives" He knows over 100 repubs voted against it.

(12,342 posts)Because this person doesn't believe in helping anyone outside of precious USA or matter of fact inside the USA, with certain exceptions and apparently Ukraine is not that exception.
He is very social media savvy, he knows exactly what he's doing. He is not going to let those repukes use him as a prop in a photo op...

(17,353 posts)he suggested or hinted at something Zelensky could do for reQublicOns and if he did reQublicOns
might return the favor. Just a typical Quid pro quo.

(15,662 posts)the former Republican administration, how the Senate Republicans supported tffgs attempted blackmail of Ukraine, and that Putin has attacked his country and killed thousands of his countrymen in part because he was emboldened and somewhat enabled by the crippling division the Rs and TFFG created in our country.
Moscow Mitch, Concerned Susie, and the few other idiots traveled for a photo op and video coverage that made them look foolish and out of place. That is all that Zellenskyy would give them. He wasnt going to burn any bridges but he also didnt praise them.

(8,974 posts)They all gave TFG an impeachment pass after his attempted extortion and the delay of defensive weapons. Zelinsky is no fool, recognizing a contrived photo op when he sees one.

(4,761 posts)If the Russians strike at the spot where they were meeting - the consensus over on imgur is that the R̶u̶s̶s̶i̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶e̶t̶s̶ GOP visitors could well have had their phones on to ping the location to Pootie (may his death be agonizing and not too swift).
Of course, he's not stupid enough to ever meet then in any location he'd remain at, but it could shake out very interestingly if a bomb or shell lands in that courtyard...
