3. I may have over simplified it when I stated Zelensky doesn't have to do a damn thing.

To clarify, Ukrainians aren't seeking Russian territory. They aren't trying to gain land beyond their own borders. If Putin ordered a withdrawal tomorrow of Russian troops from Ukraine, I don't think Ukrainians would follow them back home. Again, I may be oversimplifying the situation, but I think that is Ukraine's position, in a nutshell.

This is Russian aggression from day 1. It's Russia's war to lose and Ukraine's to continue to defend against. Putin and Russia have made a monumental mistake by underestimating the resolve and tenacity of the Ukrainian people. The Felon and "our leaders" that support the Felon are making just as much of a mistake by not fully supporting Ukraine and history will show that to be the case.
IMHO.
