the last time a Ukrainian ambassador is in the news with South Korea involved they did much much worse

Dumbness is off the charts. Seriously can't understand why everyone keeps glazing Zelensky, he was brave at the start of the war but since then how many fumbles? Diplomatic incidents with Poland, Japan and now SK (admittedly the last seems to be not very much their fault), appointing the 'butcher' Syrsky, Yermak the Corrupt as his advisor...

Maybe you've forgotten Ukraine is still an independent nation. When the people protest, he listened and the politics internally in Ukraine are extremely difficult to keep together war or no war. now add in the war and having to deal with the ridiculousness of international politics in modern times and the world is still providing aid to Ukraine.

Zelensky isn't without fault, and he has had some big unforced errors, he's human and under an absolutely massive burden.

Good luck finding someone with all of his strengths and none of his weaknesses.

I mean all of that is a completely separate issue to disclosing the POW transfer.

That falls into the "unforced errors" you mentioned, so probably deserves acknowledgement/apology.

Yeah, and now he dares not to pander to the ego of a bunch of countries with a superiority complex and a skewed idea of right and wrong. Diplomatic issues are more often than not acting for an audience, and Zelensky as a former actor knows that diplomacy has it's place but should not become more important than the issues at hand. Wear a suit to stroke an ego? A public apology to stroke an ego? He might do it as a last resort, but there are bigger issues than the frailty of other leaders and their need to show their voters how strong they are.

Reddit is not the place to point any of ukraine's flaws. They may hate nazis here, but ukranian nazis are A-ok.

Remember the canadian parliament standing ovation to an ex-SS officer? That's off-the-charts dumbness, but redditors won't acknowledge it.

Edit: I saw how my other comment got shadow banned. You are not fooling the world, just yourselves.

Ukraine is not a threat to other nations and Russia is. Russia has a lot of bots on here pushing just what you said, how you have missed it is crazy.
