Ukrainian president welcomes Russian overtures, but says ceasefire must come before peace talks
AP KRON ^ | 5/11/2025 | SAMYA KULLAB

Posted on 05/11/2025 4:44:58 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday welcomed Russia’s offer for direct peace talks, but insisted there must be a full, temporary ceasefire in place before negotiations can start.

Zelenskyy, writing on X, called Russian President Vladimir Putin’s counter-offer to start talks without a ceasefire a “positive sign,” and said that “the entire world has been waiting for this for a very long time.”

Macron just also rejected Putin’s proposal since no ceasefire first

Meanwhile the Russian foreign minister again said Talks must happen before any ceasefire

Emmanuel Macron

@EmmanuelMacron

3h

In Kyiv and alongside President Trump, we made a clear proposal: an unconditional 30-day ceasefire starting on Monday.

President Zelensky committed without setting any condition. We now expect an equally clear response from Russia.

There can be no negotiations while weapons are speaking.

There can be no dialogue if, at the same time, civilians are being bombed.

A ceasefire is needed now

That is a great source
He also has a channel on Rumble if you prefer not to give Trump banning woke YouTube traffic and ad revenue or to avoid Google products

The cease fire is a scam. The minute a 30 day cease fire happens, NATO will flood in missiles, weapons, so called peacekeepers to embed in Uke positions, Jet fighters will start no-fly patrols etc etc.

Then the Ukes are free to launch assassinations, sabotage, bombings etc and
From behind NATOs shield.

It’s a scam and Russia plays chess. They see this idiot NATO mine a mile away.

I have bookmarked Rumble. We will see if they scrub Trump videos as badly as YT does.

I'm surprised Zelensky isn't demanding to get Crimea back before discussing any peace talks. He's delusional.

Putin wants neither peace nor to stop pounding Ukraine into the ground for defying him. To do so would be to show weakness and risk being ousted by his own people. He is a man possessed now. Any Russian “offer” to stop is a lie to get Ukraine let its guard down. They have done this over and over.

Zelensky Demands Cease-Fire Before Agreeing to Putin's Call for Direct Talks

Ukraine's president is pushing for an immediate truce. European leaders have said they will would impose new sanctions on Moscow if Russia's president does not accept.

There he goes again with making demands.

He's delusional.

Sure, its delusional, that Zelensky, Trump, and Macron have all called for a 30 day unconditional total ceasefire, which Putin rejected.

Based on your comments then, the only way to stop the war is to let Russia take over Europe.

During Vietnam war the Paris peace talks lasted for years. For Russia to agree to a ceasefire would essentially be to surrender. It won’t happen.

No… it’s for Ukraine to negotiate, de militarize and de naizify and accept neutrality. The Ukes want to end it on their terms BEFORE they negotiate. And they want to do this while get are losing.

LOL. what does Russia 'surrender' in a ceasefire?

Russia is INVADING Ukraine and seizing its territory, all the while randomly bombing Ukraines cities, killing civilians.

They’re running out of other people’s money.

The hostilities will end when that happens.

Don’t want war?

Stop funding it.
