they both have to care a lot about domestic politics because it could determine at some point the future of this war. i think that s why you saw zelenskyy coming to congress in late december and saying this isn t charity. and i can account for what you have sent us, and what you are sending us is helping us win this fight and keeping the fight on our lands and not bringing the war to you. i mean, this constant the constant lobbying both public and private that ukrainians are doing is very important because you re right this erosion of support in the republican base is very concerning. pretty much everybody quoted this poll at the munich security conference in private and europeans were very worried about it and americans to go out of their way to reassure european allies because unfortunately as much as europe is committed to this fight they
