Bonjour Michael, I realize then I'm really nobody to make suggestion or recommendation, but I'm addressing this comment to you because I believe you may consider it and communicate it to people that might be able to intercede with the people leading the Ukrainian resistance. I would like to suggest that niw would be a good time for asking for a referendum on the key element of the russified American"Peace Plan". A referendum is a double- edge sword as Brexit has demonstrated, but he would permit Ukrainian people to demonstrate that they are 100% behind their leader and it is their will that Zelenskyy is expressing, it would buy time as it takes some time to set up and who can say no to such a democratic process, even considering Trump. I would also like to suggest to President Zelenskyy that a petition to the EU to confirm that they would allow use the death penalty for people that are profiteering during wartime and putting Ukrainian people at risk, or even a less drastic life imprisonment to publicize that he is looking for the right policy tool address corruption in Ukraine. Thank you, Michael for lending an ear and continue your good work.

Michael, I applaud your willingness to express your emotional experience of these traumatic events. No intelligent, feeling person can observe mankind's inhumanity to mankind without sadness and despair. History is littered with human atrocities aided and abetted by so-called leaders. To describe what you are doing as a "message" to be delivered in some cold, dispassionate way, without your personal thoughts and feelings, is ridiculous.

I fully understand that your feelings about Ukraine go far beyond passion — this is your homeland, your identity, and your people’s survival. That’s exactly why your approach needs to be strategic. You cannot openly criticize the leader of the country you depend on for support. Your dislike for Trump keeps showing through, and it’s obvious in your assessments, Michael. That only weakens your message and undermines Ukraine’s position. If you truly want to help your country in its fight for survival, you would be far more effective if you stopped displaying that resentment so openly. Right now, the way you routinely express yourself is working against the very cause you’re trying to support.
