I might go over to the Ukraine and capture Zelensky myself and bring him back for Trump

A handy guide for Donald Trump: what the polls really tell us about Zelenskyy's approval ratings
Roman Romaniuk — Wednesday, 19 February 2025, 21:00
In recent years, Zelenskyy's approval ratings have indeed been gradually falling compared to the abnormally high figures of February 2022. However, they are still over 10 times (!) higher than Trump's claim of 4%.
In February, even with candidates such as Valerii Zaluzhnyi [Ukraine’s former Commander-in-Chief – ed.], Kyrylo Budanov [Head of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence] and several other new names from the military potentially entering the race, President Zelenskyy firmly holds second place (after Zaluzhnyi). According to Sotsys, as of early February, his rating stands at around 16% – or approximately 22% of those who have made their choice and plan to vote.
Looking at the presidential ratings over time, there is a clear trend of declining support for Zelenskyy. However, this is not a headlong plummet like Trump’s meme coin plunge, but rather a gradual downward trend that has never dipped below 15% among all voters in the first round. Such ratings cannot be described as "low".
NOTE: LordBebo version has Zaluzhnyi cropped out.

And it looks like if Zelensky is defeated it will be by Zuluzhnyi, the architect of the counter-offensive, the "Iron General," and currently Ukraine's ambassador to the UK...
What makes anybody think he would be more apt to submit to Putin? He was dismissed for underperforming on the counter-offensive (probably not his fault, since the US was pushing Ukraine to do things instead of what they wanted to do)...

Zuluzhnyi also wants a mass mobilization for military personnel, which Zelensky resisted... so, if the public votes for him, that seems like a vote to fight on with more Ukrainian troops.

US House speaker: no appetite for another Ukraine funding bill
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson said on Thursday there is "no appetite" for another funding bill for Ukraine, a day after President Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a "dictator" and warned he must move quickly to secure peace with Russia or risk losing his country.
"There's no appetite for that," Johnson told Newsmax during the Conservative Political Action Conference when asked - to a chorus of boos from the right-leaning audience - if he foresaw another funding bill for Ukraine, if it takes several more months before the war ends.
"We have to bring (the war) to an end. And I can tell you that our European allies understand the necessity as well. It's (dragged) on too long," Johnson said.
The Republican House leader's comments came amid deepening uncertainty about the future of U.S. support for Kyiv, amid a war of words between Trump and Zelenskiy.

Key Takeaways:
The Financial Times (FT) published an investigation on February 20 supporting ISW's long-held assessment that Russian military commanders are either complicit in or directly enabling subordinates to execute Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) in clear violation of international law.
FT's investigation suggests that more senior Russian commanders may also be complicit in issuing orders to execute Ukrainian POWs.
Senior Ukrainian intelligence officials reported that North Korean forces are conducting joint operations with Russian forces in Kursk Oblast and are gaining new combat capabilities.
US Special Representative for Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on February 20.
The Kremlin is likely attempting to portray the People's Republic of China (PRC) as more aligned with its stance on the war in Ukraine than the PRC is willing to publicly message.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk, and Russian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk and Velyka Novosilka.
Russia is reportedly increasing its production of glide bombs and modernizing its cruise missiles.

"DeepStateMap has issued a statement about the critical situation in Sumy and Kursk.
They acknowledged the impact Russian attacks have had on Ukraine logistics in the Sumy region, confirming that Russian drones have almost complete fire control on the roads leading in.
Additionally, they report that Russian forces are now pushing to physically cut all the roads in Kursk, which rhwy claim is having a real impact on Ukrainea ability at the front, near Sudzha"

The 4% number is accurate. What they didn’t tell you is that they polled the PT board.
