Any suggestion that the USA and NATO are "Helping" or have ever helped Ukraine needs to be shot down instantly. The West is USING Ukraine to try ot beat up America's favorite adversary. If we hadn't sponsored the 2014 coup, Crimea would still be part of Ukraine today, there'd have been no 8-year civil war. When Russian troops started building up 3.5 years ago, Ukraine could have nogociated the threat away, but the West pushed Ukraine with the slogan "Ukraine has a right to join NATO" and promised support. And now that Ukraine is losing so badly, it's suddenly "We're helping Ukraine" and Ukraine has to pay back all the money that was ever sent, or forfeit mining rights in the country.
Z could have argued that in this WH video but he didn't because he's already in too deep with this war. He should be realizing that the USA was never Ukraine's friend, though he personally is far wealthier for the exploitation so maybe he doesn't really care that much.
It'd be so much easier if the press would fess up and explain how the US and NATO engineered the 2014 coup, neo- nazis took control of the government, eastern republics declared independence, and Kiev has been shelling then ever since.
Then they wouldn't need to lie and lie and lie some more, portraying Putin as some power mad dictator, and effortlessly bring the war to an end.
However, I'd guess they're worried about law suits and criminal charges.
