Ukraine is in "mortal danger" if it does not continue receiving financial aid from Western countries, First Lady Olena Zelenska told the BBC on Dec. 9, one day after a Ukraine aid bill failed to pass in Washington.

It's a weird comment, but note how they spell Israeli. "Israëlian."

Betisedelhom is a non-native speaker, more specifically French speaking. And in French Zelenskyy is latinised as Zelensky.

Bit of a tangent, but I worked with Ukrainian refugees, and often latinisation of cyrillic names is wildly inconsistent. So much so that I had two brothers whose names were spelled differently on their passports, causing a number of issues. The rules have also changed over time.

TLDR: not the most valid criticism.

And what are you trying to prove with your explanatory nonsense...

Don't mess with me
Take it for granted that your Zelenskyy is a buffoon...

I was pointing out that it was unfair to call you stupid, simply because you used the most common French latinisation of Zelenskyy. You're clearly a non-native speaker, and in any case latinisation of cyrillic names isn't always uniform anyway.

"Don't mess with me".

Or what? You'll call us names and threaten to not be friends?

Sounds like you're 12.

When I see assholes like you, I wonder if the Western assholes aren't finally right to leave you at Putin's mercy because we've realised that you're a corrupt, dishonest people...
All your leaders are corrupt and you're happy to join us in a so-called war on corruption that you're only discovering like the bastards you are in 2023?
