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.
Dumbass comments like this is why I don’t defend American intelligence abroad
The dumbass here is you. Whenever the US has given any type of aide it always comes with strings attached. Even right now as the US, France, and Germany is giving aide to Ukraine there are strings attached. Until recently the weapons supplied by those countries were not to be used on Russian soil. That changed in May. If things went as you thought they went then the Ukrainians would take western weapons and walk right into Russia bring the fight with them from the beginning instead of being confined to using western weapons only in Ukraine. But they couldn’t because the countries that’s arming Ukraine said no.
Spoken like someone who has never read an American history book or only watches MSNBC or Fox News.

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