Jewkrainian President Volodomor Zelensky is about to get fired.
He had a meeting with Kamala Harris (???), who again told him that he’s going to be invaded at any moment.
Zelensky told Harris at top of their meeting: “As regards to the sanction policy, we are grateful to you for your understanding that the sanctions may bring about a peaceful resolution of this matter.” Ukraine has been urging US to impose sanctions on Russia now, preemptively

Then he went on TV and was like “these people are telling me that we are going to be invaded any minute now, and yet they’re saying they’re going to wait on sanctions.”
He’s obviously frustrated with the fact that the whole entire Western media is saying that he’s going to be invaded any second, when that is not the situation that he perceives.
"We don’t need your sanctions after the bombardment will happen." @ZelenskyyUa called for a list of sanctions against Moscow to be made public now by allies when he spoke to me earlier today.
Zelensky also questioned "how much time" it will take before Ukraine can join NATO. pic.twitter.com/uQwLobNN6V

What he is saying is that if there was a clear threat of sanctions, that would possibly avoid a war. He obviously knows that the US has no plans to avoid a war, and that seems very frustrating to him, so he is calling them out as talking nonsense.
He is just generally trying to deescalate, by all accounts.
Of course, he is not really in control, and he will come out with statements that others have prepared that parrot the State Department line. But at these press conferences, he is visibly angry that the US is trying to force his country into a war.
He is like the worst US puppet regime leader ever.
Every time he gets a chance, he comes out and says “these people are full of shit, basically.”
To be fair, the Biden Administration is the worst group of people who ever ran a puppet regime for the US. I mean, imagine how it must feel to be at the center of this insane storm the US is creating, and then the US sends Kamala Harris to talk to you. It would have been more respectful to send Beyonce and Jay-Z.
