Volodymyr Zelensky, in the next phase of talks to end the war in Ukraine, intends to draw a red line at the most contentious issue on the table: the Russian demand for Ukraine’s sovereign territory. As long as he remains the nation’s president, Zelensky will not agree to give up land in exchange for peace, Ukraine’s chief negotiator, Andriy Yermak, told me today in an exclusive interview.
“Not a single sane person today would sign a document to give up territory,” said Yermak, who has served as Zelensky’s chief of staff, lead negotiator, and closest aide throughout the full-scale war with Russia.
“As long as Zelensky is president, no one should count on us giving up territory. He will not sign away territory,” he told me by telephone from Kyiv. “The constitution prohibits this. Nobody can do that unless they want to go against the Ukrainian constitution and the Ukrainian people.”
69% of Ukrainians want out of the war. They are tired of dieing for land: https://news.gallup.com/poll/693203/ukrainian-support-war-effort-collapses.aspx
I dont trust Russia at all, but no one is winning the war except for corporation war machine.
But if you disagree strongly, ukraine is ready for you here’s how you can sign up your life for the war: http://joinuarmy.org/en/
Was completely avoidable too. Just do what you yourself signed in Minsk agreement.
Yeah all russia had to do was not invade
Piglets were supposed to follow Minsk agreement.
That’s all they needed to do.
Ya know - not to harass 70% of ukranian population that’s Russian speaking. Not to say that “we are developing nuclear weapons” - things like thatRationalize russias warcrimes however you want
War crimes? Ukranians are getting white glove treatments, full citizenship, benefits and are allowed to leave the country if they don’t like it.
It does not get any better.
U gotta to be a total idiot to fight for a ukranian army to protect slightly differently colored oligarchs.
With the Russians and MAGA, one should sleep with one eye open. The Russians are in a wartime economy and can produce more weapons than they lose on the battlefield. The only way to stop them and throw back the Russians is to create another 1917 revolt.
As a Russian communist with relatives in Ukraine, count me in!
(Historical context for others: 1917 has seen two revolutions, February one, which ended monarchy, and October one, which brought bolsheviks, the communists and socialists siding with Lenin, to power. Lenin has then taken Russia out of the World War I)
Zelensky is a completely incompetent moron. He could have easily done a deal and avoided whole war. Now he’s gonna be exactly the same thing but with ruined economy and wasted lives.
