I am kinda starting to think that this guy is an idiot, I mean he went right on show to tell the world he wanted to join NATO while there were still talks to try to solve the thing without war, but now today he went right on twitter to make fun of one of those who are collecting armies and weapons and collaborating with sanctions, I mean he doesn't really appears to be the sharpest knife in the box
I guess you are right, was just weird to me, like ok I am not sure what Draghi did, but I think if you see that there are a bunch of people organising in order to help you, I would avoid making fun of them so publicly
I think he was being sarcastic/cheeky, and now that I think about it, I think it's even disrespectful for his own people, if I am correct that he was being sarcastic/cheeky, (someone confirm? Im italian so might miss something in english), can you even be sarcastic in a text that starts with
"Today at 10:30 am at the entrances to Chernihiv, Hostomel and Melitopol there were heavy fighting. People died."
Ok, and no problem about the non-native language; English speakers are perfectly good at misunderstanding each other too.
My reading of it is that he was frustrated that he had to be in a meeting while something important was happening to his people and he felt disconnected from them. To release that tension and passion he used some humour about how meetings are hard to schedule in a wartime.
I also felt like frustration in his recent writing on socials also the thing "I can still see Ukrainians fighting but no one around us", I can understand his frustration but I think he has a lot to ask, and am not sure that blaming/shaming people that are organising resistence and help and sanctions is the correct way to let others be motivated in that, but yeah still full support for Ukrainian sufference, and I can understand his frustration at the moment
All of that fits with what I understand from those same two messages, except that I don't think he intended to blame/shame anyone with this recent one, so that's the aspect that I'm unsure about.
To me it didn't sound disrespectful. He reports about people dying which is a tragedy. And then he tries to express annoyance with someone who wanted him to participate in the meeting at very specific time, apparently not considering that the seriousness of the situation may not allow that. But he tries to soften his annoyance by making a joke.

I don't know the real situation though.
