Ukraine is in a worse situation than before because of Zelensky.

Despite all the good advices (not joining NATO) from Angela Merkel and Henry Kissinger, Zelensky went ahead to change the Ukraine's constitution to join NATO.  After 3 warring years, high debt accumulations and massive losses of young Ukrainians (20-40 years old), he has decided to back down by giving up on joining NATO.

The US and EU have failed to use Ukraine to grind Russia down and this has just dawned on the stupid Zelensky in which he has realized that he can't continue any further because his soldiers' average age is about 50 now.  The entire young working group (20-40years) has been wiped out by the war and this will take at least a few decades to recover because the country is heavily in debts.
