Oddly we have posters who beleive that Zelenski should have surrended to save lives.
I admit to wondering the same, but so many of his people follow him so faithfully, I think he must be right.
But how have surrenders worked in the past.
Sigapore surrended in ww2 to save loss of life, with the result that the British POW's were just worked to death by the Japanese.
Cosacks were shamefully offered to stalin at the end of ww2 to be bruteally shot.
An early English King kept paying off the Vikings who kept the money & killed him
The German commander of Paris in WW2 surrended Paris to the allies, which was wise saving Paris & the population.
On balance I think Zelenski is a hero (although not perfect)
