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.
This comment shouldn’t have been censored.
The reasoning was “propaganda”, but it really just challenges Western-approved propaganda.
Censorship is alive and well on lemmy. Mods are happy to abuse their power to censor ideas they don’t like.
Make sure you click the dropdown menu and view “comment moderation history” to see what they’re trying to censor from us. Hopefully, we can have a feature one day that gives us the option to more-easily display censored content such as not hiding it in the first place or simply blurring it out until we click it.
Agreed. It may be someone spouting propaganda and ultimately a stupid point in context, but it’s still comment with the structure of an argument rather than a plain statement. Draft and not allowing certain demographics to leave are topics worth debating, even if it seems obviously acceptable in this kind of defensive existential situation.
If we want this to be a forum for healthy discussion and debate, it should be moderated in a way that is hopeful for that ideal rather than so fearful of bad actors that it undermines the ideal outright. But I’m not the moderator, maybe they just want a safe space for pro-Ukraine content, which people are in their right to create.
