Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia must withdraw to its pre-invasion positions from February 24, 2022.

In an interview with Newsmax, he hoped that Donald Trump, with European backing, could end the war and influence Putin.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine will not accept any negotiated settlement that excludes its involvement.

He also suggested that Trump needs a diplomatic success to differentiate his approach from Biden’s. However, there is no indication that Russia is willing to retreat.

          Yeah, all of those “disgruntled citizens” starting a coup in eastern Ukraine with russian equipment were later confirmed to be Russian mercenaries.

          In the end it all comes down to this: Russia will attack any country that was allied with them, but now wants to move away from that.

        I’m a lone voice crying out in the wilderness.

        Edit: And to think Boris Johnson told Zelensky not to accept a peace agreement in 2022 when Russia was willing to let Zelensky sit at the table. Now the Ukrainians don’t even get to attend the peace talks, no doubt because the Russians know that it’s the British and the Americans who give Zelensky his orders. Blame whoever you want, the Ukrainians really did it to themselves.

          It would be nice if that was true because in that case nobody could hear your bullshit
