75% is a pretty staggering majority I'd say.

Dude you keep saying the same shit. No kidding that the US is using Ukraine, currently. I wish the US wasn't involved at all but here we are. Caught between an arms dealer and a madman.

So, on some level you do understand that you're getting used, and yet you still have some delusions that Ukraine will benefit from aligning with the west in the end. Amazing stuff there.

Meanwhile, that 75% of yours isn't exactly evenly distributed is it. Let's just look at the election in 2004 went:

this is the 2010 election:

As we can clearly see from the voting patterns in both elections, the country is divided exactly across the current line of conflict. Furthermore, a survey conducted in 2015 further shows that there is a sharp division between people of eastern and western Ukraine on which economic bloc they would rather belong to:

If Ukraine was united the way you pretend it is, then there wouldn't have been any civil war after maidan in the first place for Russia to exploit.

Literally the further east you go the more people voted for Zelenskyy...

Uh yeah, people preferred Zelensky to Poroshenko, no shit! The further east you go the more people voted for this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/20/ukraines-leader-stood-on-platform-of-peace-but-finds-himself-on-brink-war

When Volodymyr Zelenskiy sought to become Ukraine’s president he stood on a platform of peace. Zelenskiy promised to sit down with Vladimir Putin and to reach a deal with Russia. He would end the unpopular war in the east and concentrate on important domestic reforms. These included ridding the country of corruption and oligarchs.

It's hilarious how even mainstream western media clearly contradicts the narrative you keep trying to paint here.

Reading is hard and I guess so is following what you said.

You were talking about him running is campaign to follow Minsk. I said he didn't run anything on his campaign about Minsk and was in fact openly stating he wasn't going to follow Minsk, but he did campaign on wanting peace with Russia.

Comprehend now?

He was referring to a ceasefire and peace talks. There's not quoted text of him outright calling Minsk and lots of quotes of him stating he's not going to follow Minsk.

Go ahead and show me quotes from him saying he won't follow Minsk during his election campaign.

I gave you three links that look critically point by point over his campaign election promises showing where he's failed.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

I asked you to provide a quote from Zelensky during his campaign where he says he's not going to implement Minsk.
