Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blasted his European allies Thursday for what he portrayed as the continent’s slow, fragmented and inadequate response to Russia’s invasion nearly four years ago and its continued international aggression.

Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Zelenskyy listed a litany of grievances and criticisms of Europe that he said have left Ukraine at the mercy of Russian President Vladimir Putin amid an ongoing U.S. push for a peace settlement.

    I have no clue around the exact sum provided to the USSR (although I have read about the nature of the support and what it focused on). I am just pointing you can’t compare dollars in a nominal manner.

        How do you think I got the $2800 B figure?

        The whole framing is dumb.

            Ah, you’re a tankie who supports russian genocidal imperialism.

            No, wonder you’re being so holier than thou.

              This is such a weird response. You are really making yourself look bad here. Why can’t you just accept that you inflation adjusted a number that had already been inflation adjusted? It’s an easy mistake to make and not a big deal but instead you are coming back with this bizarre non sequitur ad hominem.

                Totally!

                The individual who responded to me doesn’t believe that Ukraine should not have self-determination and it should under russian domination.

                I just made that up, right?

                  You inflation adjusted a number that was already inflation adjusted. Whether they are a tankie is irrelevant.
