After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine destroyed its remaining weapons in multiple phases to prevent them from falling into the hands of countries or rogue groups. In return, Britain, the U.S., and Russia provided security guarantees. Today, Trump demands $500 billion in mineral resources from Ukraine in exchange for support, and regarding NATO membership...? Yes, Ukraine has now only lost its territories and is weaker than ever due to Zelensky's wrong policies! From the beginning, this war was doomed to result in Ukraine's defeat.

So pained, future leaders were wasted in a war that should never have happened
