Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asserted that no world leader has the right to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin on behalf of Ukraine.

Speaking to Le Parisien readers, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine alone determines its future and any dialogue with Russia must follow a peace plan based on strength and international support.

He warned against negotiating without clear guarantees of security, highlighting the risks of Putin resuming aggression after a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy called for a strategy ensuring Ukraine’s long-term stability and security, beyond NATO or EU membership timelines.

    It’s terribly ironic to watch people who support US interventionism pretend that Ukraine gets to have any real say in their own destiny at this point. Hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars do not go into your coffers without strings.

      I agree. This is one of those times when reality does not align with popular sentiment on the forum.

        Because this thread shows the reality of self-important selfish Americans.

        I suppose they all just slept through Iraq and Afghanistan, but it’s common historical practice for the US to install puppets and meddle in the destinies of countries we’re supposedly helping.

          Did people actually think we were attempting to help Iraq or Afghanistan? I mean I know that was the propaganda but invasion and forceful regime changes are hardly what I would consider aide.

            Yes, they did.

            Their preferred news networks assured them of that, just like they assure us that we’re helping Ukraine.

              The three situations are obviously not the same. We provided weapons to Ukraine…we didn’t invade the country.

                we didn’t invade the country

                Not yet. I’m hoping Trump will prevent that step in the process.

                  I have no idea what’s wrong with your brain.
