Ukraine decided. To vote a comedian to a serious office.
They were probably hoping for a comedy, but what they have got is a tragedy.

Russia is doing what it had promised to do in its earlier agreements with Ukraine. It can't be blamed if the electorate in another country doesn't take things seriously.

Russia falling on its face, as an aggressor in this invasion, to a country ran by a comedian really helps to put context to Russia's decline. They basically shot themselves in the foot and if there weren't lives being lost, it'd be fairly comedic.

The only comedy is that Russia is falling on its face since 26 months now.

Please provide sources for the agreement that says "please invade me and kill lots of our citizens if we ever elect a former comedian as a president"

Maybe find a source for the quoted text first.

It was obviously a joke dude. You Russians have no humor.

But seriously provide a source for the alleged agreement you said existed.

Just someome who reads both sides of propaganda.
