End of war will be 'diplomatic' – Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the end of the war will be "diplomatic."

"Before, I thought that it would be possible to end only with a dialogue... I thought that it would be a dialogue, that in this dialogue it would be possible to find answers to many questions and many decisions with the Russian side," he said in an interview with the ICTV broadcaster shown during the Saturday telethon.

Now, he said, "I understand that the ending will be diplomatic." "Now it's like a car – not a gasoline or electric car, neither a hybrid. That's why the war is so difficult and the victory will be very difficult. It will be bloody, in battle, but the ending will definitely be in diplomacy," Zelensky said.

"There are things that we will not be able to complete otherwise than at the negotiating table. We want to return everything, the Russian Federation wants not to give everything away," he said.

If moral indignation was a basis to refuse to negotiate every war ever fought would never have ended.

You negotiate with your enemies—because they are your enemies.

If they were your friends there would be nothing to discuss.

Soviet Russia never went away. The Soviet Red Army is still called the Red Army. They go forward with Soviet flags. They wear the hammer and sickle on their uniforms, their medals, their government buildings, they parade in Red Square in the company of dead Communists, and here they are killing Ukrainians again.

Oleg Mikhailov, Member of the 8th Duma, has even proposed to make the flag of the USSR the official flag of Russia again.

It is time to put an end to the Soviet menace once and for all. Russia must be purged of nationalists and communists for the best interests of world peace.

It is a rule of war that the losing side decided when a war ends.

Zelensky can’t do much. He needs to wait until the reality of the situation on the ground seeps into whatever underground lair Putin is hiding in. Until then Russian boys will continue to die in Ukraine.

Ukraine is in ruins, decades to rebuild, every week the rebuilding cost grows exponentially ( minus 10 percent to senile Joe) for the US taxpayers, why be in a hurry? Suckers we are.

Zelensky is just acting the clown.

When Pidor Putin gets gay he takes off his shirt and prances around like his idol Freddie Mercury.

You have a bad case of xenophobia.

Immersion in mass media can do that.

Well if Zelensky is smart he will hurry up and do it before he has to give up Odessa and Kharkov, too.

“You negotiate with your enemies—because they are your enemies.”

Dead enemies make for easier negotiations.

Reality setting in? The Ukie war cheerleaders will suddenly go quiet, like the Covid vax scam supporters. Realizing you have been sucked in to another Senile Joe scam hurts, but you should have learned after Joe’s first hoax.

Translation: We lost and Russia gets the eastern provinces and seaports.

Do we get our 40 billion back?

Probably running out of places to rathole his cut of the “aid” we're sending him.

Karma—you really need to learn about it. It always circles back....

You are giving off seriously bad Karma.

40 thousand million dollars is just one of many gifts Zalensky is expecting. Rebuilding Ukraine will cost many thousands of millions more.

Zelensky doesn’t give a crap about Ukraine . He can always go and live full time in his million dollar mansion in Florida .
