It is great the Ukrainian first lady set the record straight with those Westerners who push for war then whine about spending.

Ukraine war: As UK counts pennies, we count casualties - Olena Zelenska
By Rob Corp
Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg

In a wide-ranging interview to be broadcast on Sunday 4 September [2022], Mrs Zelenska was asked what message she had for British people who are facing soaring energy bills in part due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the impact that has had on global gas and oil prices.

"I understand the situation is very tough. But let me recall that at the time of the Covid-19 epidemic, and it's still with us, when there were price hikes, Ukraine was affected as well.

"The prices are going up in Ukraine as well. But in addition our people get killed.

"So when you start counting pennies on your bank account or in your pocket, we do the same and count our casualties," she said.
Mrs Zelenska's comments follow Prime Minister Boris Johnson's suggestion while visiting Kyiv last month that households across Europe would have to endure the cost of living crisis and "stay the course" with Ukraine to counter Russia's aggression.

In the UK, the inflation rate is forecast to hit a 42-year high of 13.3% this year, while the economy is expected to shrink for more than a year.

She has every right to call UK out because they dragged them into it not Hungary

Well what more can i say? Sense is gradually returning to the senseless.
We must learn a lesson.
No one can push me to also become an enemy to someone just because the person is their enemy

Courtesy of the counteroffensive in Kherson, the Ukrainian army have managed to successfully occupied all the morgues in Nikolaev, Krivoy Rog and Odessa.

The first lady wasn't mincing words. She was stating a fact.

Crony capitalism that funds war is evil, no her.
Her people are dying every day , 500 to 1000 a day are wounded, killed, or traumatized to say the least.
