First it was the ditching of Ukrainians by the Orthodox Christianity where Orthodox Patriarch Kyrill backed the invasion of Ukraine by Russia (as reported at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-XZMfDy3Wo ). The Orthodox Christianity spread in Russia from Ukraine and still (like in Russia) in Ukraine too, the overwhelming population follows Orthodox Christianity. But Orthodox Christianity is not ashamed that its followers in Russia are taking the lives & blood and destroying the properties of its followers, the Ukrainians.

As if it was not enough that on March 16, The President of Ukraine Zelenskyy ditched the Ukrainians. Zelenskyy (virtually) addressed the US-Congress (as reported at https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2022/03/politics/ukraine-zelensky-congress-speech-annotated/ ) for garnering support of the USA against invader Russia in the war in Ukraine. But it should be a matter of great sorrow and concern for the Ukrainians that Zelenskyy missed this golden opportunity which otherwise would have bought real relief to Ukraine, had he called spade a spade as explained below:-

(1)-  It is surprising, rather intriguing that Zelenskyy didn’t invoke the ‘Budapest Memorandum’. Zelenskyy had to merely ask a question from US Congress that – “Today what would have been the condition of invader Russia if the USA had not snatched about 1900 nuclear warheads from Ukraine and had not given those to Russia (for ‘disassembly’) under ‘1994 Budapest Memorandum’(as mentioned at https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2014/12/04/the-budapest-memorandum-and-u-s-obligations/  ? Had Zelenskyy asked this simple & straight question, by this time the entire USA (including US-Congress and Biden-Administration) would have been running helter-skelter to find-out ways and means to provide prompt and effective relief & remedy to beleaguered Ukrainians.

(2)- Zelensky is under delusion that his proposal of U-24 will solve the problems of Ukraine and the problems of the rest of the world (as he claims) but here also Zelenskyy is in the wrong. As per Zelenskyy – “[the U-24 would be an association united for peace, a union of responsible countries that have the strength and consciousness to stop conflicts immediately, provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours, if necessary, even weapons if necessary, sanctions, humanitarian support, political support, finances, everything you need to keep the peace and quickly save the world, save lives. In addition, as per Zelenskyy, the U-24 would provide assistance to those who are experiencing natural disasters, man-made disasters, who fell victims to humanitarian crisis or epidemic]”.

(3)- Obviously Zelenskyy advocated U-24 as an alternative to NATO because he could not not join rather was not allowed to join NATO. But Zelenskyy forgot that there are 193 countries which are members of the UN and most of them can’t protect their independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity without  the support of the UNSC.  Because the UN (also due to veto power to 5 countries in the UNSC) has failed to discharge its said responsibility towards its 193 member countries (presently about Ukraine too) that is why what is needed is not U-24 but a new world body based on ideology (secular-democracy) and not on the basis of geography or ethnicity. The USA should have been asked by Zelenskyy to launch such a new world body where no country would have veto power but voting power commensurate with its contribution of men (specially military), money and material (especially military-related) and its record about secular-democracy and human rights.

(4)- On the contrary what is worse is that Zelenskyy is asking for more arms and ammunition for Ukraine which will result in more lives, blood and properties lost for the Ukrainians and it will  benefit only the military-industrial complex of the West which will make huge & more money from such demand of Zelenskyy.

It is hoped, the section of the world community (which cares for the human rights of the Ukrainians) would expose the two most important & crucial institutions & offices (namely Orthodox Christianity and President of Ukraine, Zelenskyy) for ditching (as mentioned above) the Ukrainians so that they are constrained through formidable public opinion to mend their ways in the true interest of the Ukrainians.
