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?”

It seems Russia is both willing and capable of destroying 3 cities at a time.

And there is nothing anyone can do about it.

When the blockade/siege of Kiev kicks off in earnest the world will be shocked.

Don’t forget he was installed with the help of a billionaire oligarch who left Ukraine when the bullets started flying. But didn’t the left tell us oligarchs are bad? 🤣

Once we get WW3 over with, we can get on to fighting WW4: the struggle of the billion people remaining to survive and rebuild some semblance of civilization amid the nuclear ruins.

Yeah, it was worth it. Putin got what he deserved!

False flag cometh.

"It would be well for your government to consider that having your ships and ours, your aircraft and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS.

Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador."

Counter with this.

Yes to number one.
No to number two. It be left up to each individual’s’ and ares what secondary language they speak.
Number three is the same as number four. If those regions become independent then the Crimea does also. Reference to the recent history of the Crimea. Both parties agree to pay Crimea for its use of ports, etc, and to guarantee water rights to that independent state. (Ukraine shut off water to there after Russia took it over.)
Number 5. only if Russia agrees to a no mans land of at least a certain distance on the Ukrainian/Russian border-meaning no Russian military activities ever in those areas ever for whatever reason-30 or 40 miles?
Yes to number 6.

A World War of nowhere near the entire World taking part. So- no- it does not mean a World War. It means decades of a fake civil war by proxy players. Like Vietnam or... Afghanistan.

All of which would be acceptable to Zelensky and all the other players in this farce with a loonie neo-Stalinist probably early vodka dementia’ed, Liz cheny et al and all of the US arms industries who make their living off the ginned up Congressional funding for their weapons to be purchased by governments (plural) to fill their profit coffers and increase their stock value pricing and dividends.

This is the reality.

“Don’t forget he was installed with the help of a billionaire oligarch who left Ukraine when the bullets started flying. But didn’t the left tell us oligarchs are bad?”

Another Twitter user responded to this story:
“We’re risking a very fast, very radioactive third world war defending the “democracy” of a regime who just banned eleven opposition parties.”

I would advise Zelensky not to fly, remember what happened to President Kaczynski back in 2010.

Because he hasn’t. Damaged, yes. Put up a great fight, yes. But they’re still ruling the skies and inflicting casualties on non-combatants.

BTW - During the Obama admin. Poroshnko developed a close relationship with Joe Biden during his term as vice president ....Poroshenko is the preferred puppet of US policymakers. It appears Poroshenko is waiting to step forward should the Zelensky government fall. W’re seeing him alot on Ukraine vidos now.
