Well, count Ukraine President Vologmyr Zelensky among the many who are disappointed in U.S. President Joe Biden. Zelensky took a few shots at clueless Joe for suggesting families of U.S. diplomats and U.S. citizens in Ukraine leave the country ASAP due to an imminent Russian threat.
According to the Daily Wire, a source close to Zelensky told BuzzFeed News on Monday that Zelensky “does not think there’s any remotely imminent threat to Kyiv.”
“The fact that the US was the first one to announce this is extremely disappointing and quite frankly these Americans are safer in Kyiv than they are in Los Angeles … or any other crime-ridden city in the US,” the source said. “On the one hand, [Washington tells Ukraine] how we should democratize. We stand with you. It’s your right to determine to join the West. We will stand with you against Russian aggression. Then Russia turns up the temperature and they’re the first to leave.”
The source said that Zelensky views Biden’s panicky response as “utterly ridiculous” and a sign of “U.S. inconsistency.”
