You don't see his pandering to the EU as stumbling backwards into this whole situation in the first place?

I understand that it comes across as provocative, but from what I understand about his (attempted) maneuvering over the past couple years, he's kind of a spineless and weak leader who trusted the wrong side and got his country embroiled in a massive conflict.

NATO and the US are not trustworthy allies, and they let him talk up "Ukraine joining NATO ", a very dangerous thing to do, but I don't believe they had any intention of letting them in at any point. Zelensky should have understood this.

got his country embroiled in a massive conflict.

Russia already invaded ukraine and took control of crimea 5 years before Zelensky became president.

To view this invasion as totally separate and then blame Zelensky for getting invaded is kinda insane to me.
