That statement is pretty tone deaf. They aren’t spoiled, they are fighting to survive and defending the eastern EU border.
Zelensky's response showed Wallace to be a fool, and did a good job of reminding the audience that his country was fighting for survival while Wallace was paying some some shitty game.
The entire response was :
"It seems to me we have always been very grateful to the United Kingdom, always grateful to the Prime Minister and the Defence Secretary, Mr Wallace…
I just do not know what he means, how else we are supposed to express our gratitude. He can text me to explain it… We can wake up every morning and personally thank the minister.
The UK is our partner, we are grateful to it, maybe the minister wants something specific… But I think we have a good relationship.
We are grateful to the people. After all, strong support from the people influences the support from any state’s leadership."
Zelenskyy also turned to Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s Minister of Defence, who was in the audience. "Oleksii, are you on bad terms with the UK Defence Secretary? You get along perfectly? Then thank him. Call him today."
Reznikov stood up and said thank you to Wallace.
I agree with you, but from reading the article he did say “I didn’t drive 11 hours to be given a list”. So it sounds like he said it out of agitation, albeit not professional. I kind of understand where he was coming from, the dudes ass and legs were probably so crapped and didn’t expect to be handed a laundry list. Lol!!
