Zelensky Circus Comes to Town for One Last Encore

Zelensky has once more descended on DC in velvet-toned Hollywood fashion, for a last ditch plea to convince Republicans to unlock his money. He proceeded to break into this unusually…direct speech: Well, okay, maybe that was a joke. Continuing, there are a few interesting side-notes to contextualize his visit. Firstly, there was rumor that Zelensky was already being ‘side-lined’ by virtue of Yermak taking his place in globe-hopping, as he did last time when it was him visiting DC and soaking up all the high profile meetings. Some suspected that Yermak was in fact being presented as the true leader, and that rather than promoting Zaluzhny to the throne, the DC sponsors were getting ready to outright swap Zelensky with the less tainted Yermak himself.
