Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine.

“If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” he said. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership… I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years.”

His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war.

Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.

          The question in life is whether you can survive long enough to be better.

              It’s called martial law, you clown. Zelensky stayed to lead his country’s defense, despite being offered a ride out, while Putin pranced away at the first sign of danger from Wagner and resides 24/7 in his bunker.

              I get the idea, but the point here isn’t lasting long (in a shitty situation), it’s to overcome the current crisis.

                  Unless you have a practical way of solving the root cause of authoritarianism, all you’re doing right now is picking the much more terrible authoritarian’s side in oppressing the weak.

      Yes, drafts happen when you get invaded. Soldiers are needed, this isn’t a Vietnam situation like the USA pulled. The country is actively being invaded, soldiers are needed, it’s not rocket science.

      It’s almost like they are in a war to defend their country from being invaded and destroyed. What a concept.
