"Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let's be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian 'Shahedis' are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame," said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine. Zaluzhny urged Ukraine's allies to draw the right conclusions. "It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone," he said.

Ukraine get help from US and European allies and expect russia not to get the same treatment from its allies is just stupid.

Also, if Ukrainian really think US and alias care about then they need to re-think that. All they care about is to keep the conflict going because it is making money.

Being sent weapons and then told not to use them until we say so is wildly different from openly providing another country with boots on the ground

No Ukrainian ally sent thousands for their troops to the front lines. If the UN sent troops the escalation would be... Well I don't know. Truly flood gates open.

Sending weapons and aid to Ukraine is not the same as sending active military.

And yes. US should care. If Ukraine is lost the front lines of nato countries will be bordering Russian armies. Unless USA is ready to leave that alliance. Which by the last veto on Israel and Trumps view of nato, might become reality.
