“Ukrainian people do not care whether their President is Jewish, Christian or Muslim, as long as he defends the interests of the Ukrainian people,” he underlined.
Nope, but they do care if the president is a Russian lover, selling Ukraine down the river.
They do care however what allies the government seeks, civilized western democracies or undemocratic shitholes.
They care that the president isn’t a Ruskie shit nugget and one that sucks-up to corrupt individuals like a cheap street whore.
