Mr. Zelensky of Ukraine enjoyed for one to two years after the beginning of the war between his country and The Russian Federation before 3 years everywhere he turned to a standing ovation of almost all western countries' parliaments.

I remember a scene where the former speaker of US-Congress, Mrs. Pelosis, stood in the congress and declared "we are all Ukrainians" in the Ukrainian language itself, when Mr. Zelenksy appeared per video-link to address the body. The standing ovation and the heated applause are still vivid in my mind.

Mr. Zelensky enjoyed the standing ovation after appearing before parliaments in his usual causal sweater, which become by now his true brandmark. Fast forward after 3 years, all those ovations are gone, the war has costed his country countless lives and perhaps trillions of dollars worth of resources. The outcome of the war is still not clear. Not only his country has lost a big chunk of its territory to the Russians, but also we hear now it has to concede much more resources in the country to the war-loan holders, notably the Americans. This too is said to cost the country perhaps trillions of US-dollars more.

Ressource depleted, life depleted, territory depleted, applause depleted, at home no more a legitimate government head, because his terms have expired.

Now we also hear Americans are no more siding with his country but with Russia in the UN (resolutions), which means diplomacy depleted too. What is left of him?
A tragic end, I have to add. Well, I raise this point to highlight the consequences of inadequate decision to wage a war with one's own neighbor, specially a bigger one.

Let Almighty have His grace on the innocent people of Ukraine and many more suffering under the burden of war.

War is not good!

I am sure somebody is also going to ask for the compensation of all those standing ovations. After that all ululation the man is now called to Washington to sign a deal of selling his country's wealth, if needed also under a duress. He has no choice!

The Bucha massacre (Ukrainian: Бучанська різанина, romanized: Buchanska rizanyna; Russian: Резня в Буче, romanized: Reznya v Buche) was the mass murder of Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war[12] by the Russian Armed Forces during the fight for and occupation of the city of Bucha as part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Photographic and video evidence of the massacre emerged on 1 April 2022 after Russian forces withdrew from the city.[13][14]

According to local authorities, 458 bodies have been recovered from the town, including nine children under the age of 18. Among the victims, 419 people were killed with weapons and 39 appeared to have died of natural causes, possibly related to the occupation.[1][15] A memorial wall was installed in Bucha with 501 names of killed residents.[16] The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights documented the unlawful killings, including summary executions, of at least 73 civilians in Bucha
