Let me get this straight, Zelensky on a purely inconsequential basis, using citizens as fodder, dead flesh on the pavement, is an admirable thing now? Propagating higher death toll circumstances, facilitating, one can even say engineering, to capture war crime worthy misery in 4k. That orchestration in itself is a war crime and frankly evil because absolutely nothing is changing Russia's trajectory.
The man let himself get used as a mere friction-point conduit, being nothing but an indirect, far-removed chess piece of the West to mess around in the Russian-sphere. The EU/NATO did not set a guarantee action plan, did not provide any measure of security reassurance for potential disproportionate fallout of costly outcomes, knowing the heightened tension, the sheer geo-strategic and security precedent the pressure and responsibility a man in his position had to account for and maneuver in (understandably laid upon a not-so-ideal reality Ukraine has to contend with on a mature basis and act accordingly by), instead, Zelensky is resorting to narcissistically promoting this patriotic delusion that will not amount to anything other than pointless death.
People who believe Putin is waging this war on impulse or a short-sighted reaction are mistaken. Kremlin is long-term committed. The coordinated financial limitations were expected, and what comes from that is a new economic layout.
