Zelensky’s behavior and that of his circle after the NABU charges were brought says more about the prospects for the war than any highbrow analysis.
What are they doing?
They calmly post bail for members of their gang, get released, and keep doing the same things they were doing, only now without official positions.
Anyone who knows how the system of public administration in Ukraine is structured understands that a “watcher” (smochtayushchiy) is a far more significant figure than even the head of an agency.
In particularly critical cases they take their people abroad, and they continue to “work” by phone.
The prospect of a trial and a sentence (which is a matter of at least a couple of years) apparently doesn’t frighten Zelensky’s circle at all.
In other words, they simply don’t believe that in a year or two there will even be a Ukraine here with its VAKS, NABU, and everything else. So they expect all problems to reset themselves, while the stolen goods moved to the West will remain. They can drink brandy in a mansion overlooking the Thames and write memoirs about how heroically they beat the Moskals, except maybe the people turned out to be different this time, or Trump ruined everything.
Of course they would have defeated Putin otherwise.
