Zelenskiy rejected U.S. requests for help fleeing, claiming that "what is needed is anti-tank weapons, not hitchhiking", and wants to continue fighting in Ukraine. It can be said that under the current situation, Russia did not send large-scale ground troops to carry out attacks, but only used light forces such as airborne troops to seize the main points and carry out tentative attacks. In this context, if Zelenskiy followed the advice of the United States and chose to flee, the morale of the Ukrainian soldiers would be a devastating blow. Zelenskiy, though a comedian, was politically criticized and was called a Ukrainian sinner.
But the fact that he still insists on resisting shows that Zelenskiy still has a little ambition at a critical moment, not a deserter who is afraid of death. In fact, Zelenskiy hopes that the United States will directly send troops, but the United States has made it clear many times that it will not send troops, in fact, it is to let Ukraine die of this heart. Zelenskiy complained that the entire West had abandoned Ukraine, and ordinary Ukrainians complained that the United States had abandoned Ukraine. But in fact, the United States has never said it wants to protect Ukraine. Relying on U.S. protection is only one-sided wishful thinking on Ukraine.
At 1:57 p.m. on the 26th, Zelenskiy posted a short selfie video on social networks, which showed that Ukraine's network and other infrastructure have not been destroyed, and Russia is also minimizing collateral damage. Zelenskiy did not heed the demands of the United States, Britain and other Western countries at the last moment, and took the initiative to flee Ukraine to form a government-in-exile, which is also a more bloody point. Of course, in any case, Ukraine is the biggest victim of this conflict.
