I know how Zelensky feels. We Americans have all been thrown under the bus by President Vegetable.

"As top U.S. and European officials raised the alarm in January that Putin could send troops and tanks across the border, the Ukrainian leader had appealed for calm and implored his citizens not to give in to panic. Zelensky had said — repeatedly — that he was not convinced that a Russian assault was imminent.
“Take a breath,” he said in a video posted to his official website on Jan. 19. “Calm down.”
When acknowledging a potential Russian attack earlier this year, Zelensky attempted to avoid, as he put it, “panic in the markets, panic in the financial sector,” knowing a possible war would be unsettling to the Ukrainian economy."

Then there's this excerpt from your linked WaPo article...
-------------------
"As the United States and its allies have pivoted to planning for a longer war in Ukraine, Biden has made it no secret that Americans would continue to support Zelensky and the Ukrainian people through aid and weaponry. The Senate recently passed a bill that features a combined $20 billion in military aid and is expected to finance the transfer of advanced weapons systems, such as Patriot antiaircraft missiles and long-range artillery. Also included in the bill is more than $8 billion in general economic support for Ukraine, nearly $5 billion in global food aid to address potential food shortages sparked by the collapse of the Ukrainian agricultural economy, and more than $1 billion in combined support for refugees."

Biden warned Ukraine early on...Zelensky apparently was hoping Putin could be dissuaded...let's focus on the true Culprit here...Vladimir Putin.
On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky again contradicted new US claims that a Russian invasion is imminent and implored Ukrainians to remain calm. Throwing doubt on the latest allegations by Washington, Zelensky stated, “Today the best friend of our enemy is panic in our country, and all this information, which only helps panic, doesn’t help us.”
Zelensky went on to state that his government had no information that an invasion would occur in the upcoming week, as claimed by the US. “We understand all the risks, we understand that there are risks. If you or anyone else has 100 percent true information regarding an invasion by the Russian Federation starting on February 16, then please give us this information.”
Nobody knows what they are doing. Biden should bring in some people who know this stuff. Get all parties to the table. Talk peace and prevent these current crop of juveniles from starting WWIII. They are too proud of their multi color ammo and gender bending military and law enforcement to be taken serious in the world wide stage. Look at the rank amateurs that are running our departments. Brutal.
This would mean a far less laissez-faire economy and a far more woke form of social control of more and more of our lives from birth to death.
The underlying progressive psychology behind all this is a form of group OCD.
Fortunately, this contradicts human nature, which is fubdamentally oriented from birth toward individuation!
