Separating Zelenskiy From Westerners

Putin's government directly warned VP Vance that Americans should evacuate from Kiev ASAP.  That followed a targeted missile strike on the city, using an Oreshnik and several other less-speedy missiles.

The Duran comments:

... Getting the Western Powers to pull their embassies and personnel out of Kyiv is probably for the Russians an objective in itself. The Russian calculus probably is that Zelensky and the other key institutions of Ukraine would be very unwilling to leave Kyiv....

 ...if Zelensky were to stay in Kyiv after the Westerners left, he would become isolated from the West. The reality, as anyone who follows the situation in Kiev at all closely can see, is that Westerners (the diplomats, the personnel of the Western funded NGOs, the military advisers fulfilling advice and liaison functions, the officials who administer the aid packages etc) today form a key part of Ukraine’s system of government. Severing the link between this structure and Zelensky would inevitably weaken the system as a whole.

Lastly, if travel in and out of Kyiv becomes dangerous, with the Russians able to threaten the railway and road links (not impossible) then Zelensky’s isolation from the West and the outside world were he to choose to stay in Kiev after the Westerners left would become greater still....

Other than certain Deep State entities such as the CIA, the Biden Crime Family, and the now-totally-discredited "health" agencies of the FedGov, few in D.C. like Zelenskiy.  Putin will make that permanent if he can.

Good for him!
