Zelenskyy messed up. He gave a great interview in which he painted a picture of Ukrainian and American partnership in honest, open, and very transparent terms. He didn't insult anyone. But he was very open about what he thinks and what he wants. He sounded like a real leader. He sounded like he cares about truth and accountability.

I don't think that's a winner with Trump.

Move to Moscow. They already pay you, right?

That's the saddest part. He isn't even getting paid to be racist and horribly uninformed. Doing it on his own dime.

I think we aren’t seeing the whole story. We provide Ukraine with a lot of non-military economic aid. Allegedly we don’t have much control over that. This is against a backdrop of Ukraine’s history of considerable corruption.

I tend to believe poking Putin with a stick is not as important as our money.

I have absolutely no beef with Zelenskyy. His leadership under awful circumstances has been courageous and bold.

But I think he needs to come to terms with the reality of his situation and the options it affords. To me, he seems to be clinging on to the idea that he can get all or most of Donbas and Crimea back. And that ship sailed a long time ago.

He may not like the sort of arrangement that Trump is proposing. And I’m sure he’ll want to hone the terms more in his favor.

But does he have any better options — ones that exist in reality?
