The whole world tried to warn you about the imminent invasion, but you did not believe these warnings. You believed that Putin was peaceful but paranoid. You showed Putin that Ukraine was not preparing for war. Your goal was to make your country to look weak, and you succeeded in making it weak.
This has allowed the Russian army to take over large parts of your country.
What's more, Ukrainian civilians in those areas feared the Russians were going to invade and were ready to flee. It was you who had used all available state media and all your charisma to persuade them to stay.
They were killed because of Putin, but they have stayed to be killed because of you. That is the responsibility you have to share with Putin.
You keep thinking about this day and night.
A strong man could take personal responsibility and carry this sin all his life. The psychological torture of self-blame was too much for the weak President Zelensky to bear.
