Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that Ukraine is prepared to work productively in order to end the war between Kiev and Moscow.
"When peace is discussed for one country in Europe, it means peace for all of Europe. We are ready to continue working with maximum effort to end the war and to ensure reliable security. These are the key issues," Zelensky wrote on his X account after an encounter with United States Special Envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg in Washington earlier today, and ahead of the multilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump and European leaders in the White House.
The Ukrainian president shared that both teams discussed the battlefield situation and diplomatic capabilities, adding that Russia "can only be forced into peace through strength," and that the US President "has that strength." He underlined that Ukraine, together with its allies, "have to do everything right to make peace happen."

Perhaps you are better informed and could enlighten us.
If we had idiots in charge of our war effort then yes.
I don’t believe anything from any Slav’s mouth. They’re all dirt bags. They’re not much better than Muslims. Patton was right.

Experts have characterized Russia under Vladimir Putin as a kleptocracy, an oligarchy, and a plutocracy due to its crony capitalism.
Allegations of corruption against Putin date back to the 1990s, including a parliamentary investigation into a food-for-raw-materials deal where the food never arrived. He is also alleged to have used his position to enrich himself and his inner circle through a system where loyalty to him is traded for access to business opportunities and state assets.
These accusations include a secret $1 billion palace and hidden investments in energy companies.
“I don’t believe anything from any Slav’s mouth. “
Putin is a Slav.
Exactly.
Prior to the Battles of Saratoga in 1777, you'd have to wonder why the colonists and continental army kept the war going....
He isn’t going after NATO countries. You do realize what he found in the Ukraine (US Biolabs) that were making bioweapons right? If you don’t know, might help to pay attention. We actually need a relationship with Russia to counter China.
Surrrrre Zhamas, suuuure you are.
I’ll believe it when I see it, Zidget.
This has been a multi-party debacle. From Wikipedia:
The memoranda, signed in Patria Hall at the Budapest Congress Center [de; hu] with U.S. Ambassador Donald M. Blinken (now that's interesting) amongst others in attendance,[3] prohibited Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations". As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.[4][5]
Russia violated the Budapest memorandum in 2014 with its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea[6][7] and in 2022 by invading Ukraine. As a response, the United States, United Kingdom, and France provided Ukraine with financial and military assistance, and imposed economic sanctions on Russia, while ruling out "any direct interventions to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia".[6]
“And we violated it with our mucking in Ukrainian politics for over 20 years.”
ROTFLMAO!
I really don’t care what you think.
Are you proud to be a racist?
Slandering all Slavs because of two scumbags like Putin and Zelensky.
“I really don’t care what you think.”
Why not?
Uh…this article is about Zelensky. Your Gaytor friend is the one who started screeching about Putin.
It is possible to dislike and mistrust both Zelensky and Putin. They’re both scumbags.
Disliking and mistrusting Zelensky doesn’t make a person a “Putin worshiper.”
Gee, why would he since I thought the hawks here said Ukraine has already won the war?
What’s your excuse for supporting the democrat money laundering Ukraine that is also the host of virus labs and human trafficking?
Melania Trump is a Slav.
“What’s your excuse for supporting the democrat money laundering Ukraine that is also the host of virus labs and human trafficking?”
What is your excuse for lying about my support of Ukraine?
