You might want to watch this brief video a few times, once with the sound low or off and pay attention to the body language of the participants as the remarks to the media are delivered.  Vice-President Vance opens the remarks followed by President Zelenskyy, then back to JD Vance.

Marco Rubio is stone cold focused (perf). JD Vance is personable and pragmatic.  Zelenskyy is deferring and at the very end the Ukrainian officials exhibit the attitude they are known for within Eastern Europe. Perhaps Americans don’t know because Western media hide it, but the scope of corruption within the Ukrainian government is so well known, most Eastern Europeans view current Ukranian govt officials as mere financial beneficiaries to the indulgences of war. WATCH:

All over Europe Ukranian govt officials are seen driving exotic cars, arriving in multi-million-dollar yachts, staying at the most expensive hotels, shopping at exclusive stores, buying jewelry and watches. They Ukraine military and govt officials are generally living a life of stunning opulence and overwhelming indulgence.  When you travel there, people simply nod toward the visibility of it and say, “Ukraine.” It’s an open joke, and they are hated.

Generally speaking, the government officials from Ukraine are considered vile, vulgar, rude and cruel by the ‘simple people’ who see them.  And trust me, it is impossible to miss their arrogance.   I never had an opinion about them until I witnessed it myself. The vibe they give off is foul.
