Biden welcomes Zelenskyy to White House.

I feel like Zelenskyy would be willing to make that sacrifice at this point. He knows him dying would end the war. Well, it would start a new war but save a lot of Ukranian deaths.

What probably weighs on his conscience is Russia's propaganda fucking with him. If he would have just surrendered Ukraine as requested, none of this would have happened. Nobody would have died. Is it all worth it? Zelenskyy could have said, everyone chill, let's do this peacefully. What would have happened? Would Russia have came in guns blazing and massacred everyone anyway? Would nobody have died? Long term impacts? Would the world have been better off that way? He's seen so many people die directly because of his decision. I don't disagree with the call he made, but I'm also sitting behind a keyboard/monitor in a comfortable home and haven't had to think constantly about being shot while doing regular tasks (only sometimes I think about it, I do live in the US after all). I'm not personally seeing people die. Having lunch with a group of people talking about what they were doing before the war, plans for after the war, then finding out a week later they are all dead.
