Zelensky’s actions only make no sense if one thinks he is doing what’s best for Ukraine and ukrainians and is still intrerested in winning this war. In my opinion it’s been quite obvious that Zelensky’s and the goal of his close circle is to fight this war, not to make peace and ride this war as long as possible. Not to victory, because that seemed unlikely in 2022 and it seems almost impossible now. The goal is to stay in saddle until the collapse comes and then flee with the money and remain Ukraine’s western recognize president in exile for life and keep living large with all the money he has and will have. If peace comes through peace agreement he will be the president that lost Ukraine and has to step down and the radicals who kept him in power will probably kill him as a traitor for betraying Ukraine.
Zelensky’s goal therefore is not victory, but control. Control over the goverment and especially the military, ideological batalions and intelligence apparatus and such. Those will keep the war going, Russians away from Kiev, people in line and his political opponents silent. Those will help him ride out this war.

Why
Russia is the enemy not Ukraine
Russia is the enemy of the most prolific invader in the world in this situation, so I’m going to third the question and ask, why?
What?
Have you never heard of NATO, or are you unaware of NATO’s involvement in this proxy war?
Russia invaded Ukraine. My dude.
As in, responded to NATO - the most prolific invader in the world, involved in at least one high-profile genocide - doing a coup in Ukraine and trying to bring up its weapons to the border with its most populated areas?
Also, it’s cute how you are completely fine with Ukraine invading Iraq and Syria, so please don’t pretend as if you care about anybody invading anybody.
Seconded, why?
