I don't think anyone has made the simplest observation, which is that Zelenskyy is not groveling because the survival of his country now depends on his credibility with other allies. Seriously - why would he want to send submissive signals?

Especially important as Ukraine (unfortunately) only received help because they managed to defend themselves.

If they had rolled over for the Russians, like Trump wanted Zelensky to do, they wouldn't had received the support they have.

No, the reality is that to receive help you need to be strong yourself.
