Until you've led your nation against a brutal invasion for three years, until you've witnessed the aftermath of war crimes in your towns, until you've met thousands of bereaved families of soldiers - you don't get to criticise Zelensky for not sitting silently while Trump and Vance parroted Putin.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
