1. I'd so love to see Zelensky not only prevail but to stand on the graves of Putin & Trump

placing a heavy marker that says "You don't have the cards!"

If there is any justice on this earth, Zelensky will outlive those two by many many many years.

2. I could not agree more, he so deserves to win over the felon and Putin, especially after his treatment at the White House

I couldn't be more grateful that the EU has stepped in to support him, but the felon-in-chief having turned on him like he did has to be war crime. Zelenskyy is an amazing war hero to me!

I don’t know how they can do it but they need to find a way to pressure an end to this madness

And now, no one is allowed to mention Putin's war on State Run TV or they'll face the same fate. I was there in the late '80s with my grandmother's peace group and there were peace groups and plaques and statues dedicated to peace everywhere. There were even museums in the schools to teach the children about what they went through during WWII fought on their own land. How soon they forget...

6. How will this action by Ukraine be reported on their tv? I don't think they can ignore this

They may not be able to get the facts, but the people know their families or their friend’s families have had someone they know who hasn’t returned from their tour

7. The fatality rate has been very high, many have left the country rather than getting drafted

Putin has been so desperate that he's emptied prisons to get the bodies to fight his war. I met a whole lot of nice people who were excited to meet Americans when I was there and I can't imagine what it's like there now. When I was there it was under Gorbachev who has instituted more progressive policies so the mood was hopeful.

8. Now, a generation has been repressed from those days but their parents might remember a better time

Still, I think they have to see and smell the destruction in Moscow, at least, and know about their involvement with Ukraine.

10. "They" want them to forget so they have better control over them. Pedopres is trying that with the things he lies about
