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.

He didn’t call for WW3..but what he said is incorrect. It’s all on Putin.

Why not just concede to the conditions set forth….seem reasonable to end the carnage.

Russia has made clear their demands already.

Putin’s six key demands:
1. No NATO membership and a neutral position.
2. Russian should be the second official language of Ukraine, with laws prohibiting it abolished.
3. Recognise Crimea as Russian territory.
4. Recognise the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk.
5. Demilitarisation of Ukraine and abandonment of weapons that could be a threat to the Kremlin.
6. Banning of ultra-nationalist parties and organisations in Ukraine.

“George Orwell just got the year wrong.”

On a tangent, I read Wells’ book “Time Machine” published 1895. His date was the year 802,701 AD. As I read his description of the hapless Eloi (physically, intellectually and emotionally stunted) it struck me as a perfect description of Greta and her minions. Wells was just 800,500 years off.

Much is made of Pelosi reading the poem, but not enough was said about what a banal POS the poem was. Isn’t Bono supposed to have some talent?

A Twitter user responded to this with:
“So, we are leaving the fate of humanity in the hands of a comedian who is allied with #AzovBatallion. This is insane.”

You know it’s happening. Biden will try to take out Putin with a drone.

Asking to negotiate is a sign of weakness. We both agree. Telling the world that it will be WWIII is dramatic as well.

No, I don’t want the US physically involved in this war.

Zelensky is just the new Dr.Fauci. It does not matter what he is saying or the facts, just enjoy the ride if you believe any of the bullcrap spewing from their mouth. He is a mere pawn

Would have better if Zelensky had been “ready to negotiate” before Putin painted himself into a corner and Zelensky became the darling of the western war hawks.
