And United24, the platform that Western celebrities have used to fundraise for Ukraine, was literally founded by Zelensky. People share its articles as though its news.

It’s not. It’s state propaganda, and they’re not even discreet about it.

Ukraine is being used as a testing ground for NATO’s military-industrial ambitions, its forces deployed to generate combat experience with drones and tactics that can then be shared with other NATO members. This is, in the clearest possible terms, a proxy war, and the proxy is being destroyed.

And these tactics will be turned upon the West’s own children and elderly, to press them into conscription for Western business interests, like they have Ukraine’s children and elderly.

Of course, if you define Ukraine as its puppet government, controlled by NATO and kept in place by the same Western powers that benefit from every day this war continues, then yes, they want to keep fighting. It is not their children being sent to die. Zelensky’s children live safely outside Ukraine, as do the children of the vast majority of the Rada. The West is determined to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian. And the Ukrainian people, the real Ukraine, the only Ukraine that matters, have made clear that they are no longer willing to be the last Ukrainian.
