    That is as long as Ukraine gets supplied with weapons, ammo to finish the job. Right now the political environment in the West is tipping to russia’s favor.

        So all the heated debate in the US how they should stop supplying Ukraine (and latest halt on their help to have their govt not be shut down)
        and focus on their internal issues instead is not changing political environment? How about Slovenia (one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine) electing a pro-russian party to their parliament just now? I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant portion of the campaigns there is funded from the Kremlin. When comrade Musk starts quoting politicians who have been proven to work for russia before and general public seems to be jumping into Musk’s fanbase, that’s a cause for concern for the future of US’s and other Western countries political and economical commitment to help Ukraine, don’t you think? I really hope it’s all just populism that affects small portion of the society, but my American friends seem to be leaning towards believing and supporting Musk and GOP and I am worried that russian propaganda and tools of disinformation are bearing fruits in affecting people’s opinions in the West.

          The country where a pro-Russian party won the elections was Slovakia, not Slovenia. It hasn’t been “one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine” and is a fairly small country.

          That said, there’s certainly some reason to worry about the trends with support for Ukraine. US politics has been worrying at least since 2016 . Also,seems like the threat is very real that with Biden’s term we might only have gotten a breather.

        I’m as much of a russ-bot as any Ukrainian fighting for their country. Just because someone shows a bit of skepticism and concern, doesn’t mean they’re against it. I’ve donated plenty of my own money and did a fundraiser to support Ukraine in the past, and will continue to support Ukraine till the very end until russofashists are pushed back to their backwards Asian country borders.
