Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that he's "ready for negotiations" with Russian President Vladimir Putin but warned that if they fail "that would mean that this is a third World War."

"I'm ready for negotiations with him. I was ready for the last two years. And I think that without negotiations we cannot end this war," he told CNN's Fareed Zakaria.

"I think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating, possibility of talking to Putin. But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third World War," he added.

Why negotiate if you have annihilated the Russian military? Demand their surrender.

This guy is not Eisenhower or Patton. He's Goober.

To call for WWIII is insane.

Sounds like Z sees reality setting in. He’s going to make a deal with Putin.

Talk about a gas lighter.
This clown gives a different canned speech to every audience.

Meanwhile his military is being methodically deconstructed, encircled and given the choice to surrender or be destroyed, except mercs and neo-nazis. They don’t get the surrender option.

No wonder Putin won’t meet with him….to surrender, LOL.

Can’t we just do what the Eskimos do and put poots and zel together on an ice flow to negotiate and let them just drift off into the sea...

“that would mean that this is a third World War.”

The EuroSlavs love their World Wars. It’s like Lay’s Potato Chips, they can’t stop at just one.
