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.
There will reach a point where, as Putin slowly chews up land in East and South Ukraine, eventually Zelensky will make enough concessions to attract Putin’s interest in concluding this. It did not go as well as Putin thought it would, but he will have achieved some of his objectives, far from all.Putin’s biggest disappointment is Zelensky is still breathing.
Putin and Xi are best buds and fellow Communists. Red China needs to fail as well. So do their tinpot dictator allies and puppets.
“You have a bad case of xenophobia.”
No, I hate and loathe bullies with every fiber of my being. Vermin who predate on those they think are weaker than themselves to me are no more than contemptible cowards.
That rat-**** prick who runs Russia thought he would just steamroll a weaker Ukraine and the Ukrainians (led by a damned comedian!!) are kicking Putin right in his smirking smartass face and I admire them for standing up to fight for their country regardless of the opposition.
And I’ll be blunt, I celebrate and relish the death of every last Russian invader and I hope their mothers and wives mourn their loss for years to come. Let the deaths of these invaders be completely in vain. Let them die needlessly in the service of a gangster. Let the best moment of their lives be the moment when that life is extinguished in a failed war of conquest.
I pray their names are forgotten out of shame for what they have done.
“You are giving off seriously bad Karma.”
I make deliveries, too.
And Crimea and Donbas has always had special status.
"A rocket is launched from a truck-mounted
multiple-rocket launcher."
What is this guy snorting?? Lunitic....
I think you have a crush on Putin.
“I think you have a crush on Putin.”
No, I’d just like to see him in chains in a Kyiv courtroom facing justice for his crimes.
Sounds like you are full of irrational hatred. Perhaps you should try watching Ukraine on Fire and learn something about the region. If you think this is just a case of good guys vs. bad guys you really don’t have a clue.
Yup...but Id rather see all the Freepers and those that are for it and that REALLY want to help the Ukraine to send them $500 in cash.....I read somewhere that that's the amount actual US “Taxpayers” would have to pay for our last 40 billion gift to then...
but instead...we'll just print more money and borrow it off of China and make our deficit bigger....and add to our inflation woes...and pay the piper later....
Well if Zelensky is smart he will hurry up and do it before he has to give up Odessa and Kharkov, too.

Good point, if the corrupted beggar Zelensky losses Odessa, he is landlocked. I guess Vlad could charge him a transit tax ( in Rubles) to let him get his countries huge grain supply to the seaport.
Ukraine’s economy goes third world status without a seaport ( as we are currently witnessing).
“ More than 25 million tons of Ukrainian wheat cannot be exported due to the war. The UN warns that this will cause a global grain crisis. Prior to the Russian invasion, Ukraine was the world’s fourth-largest exporter of wheat. Wheat in Ukraine’s warehouses is beginning to rot, Ukrainian producers warn. 25 million tons of grain must be released before the new harvest…”

….and Vlad says Checkmate again, and again…
Well then wrap it up and end the nuclear threats.
I assume the very pronounced change of heart is likely based on concerns that the fact Ukraine is losing
———
Not only are the Ukies losing, but more likely Vlads reverse sanctions on the west is strangling the EU, Russia has everything they need to survive. Without Vlads commodities and energy, EU manufacturing is slowly grinding to a halt ( their GDP is tanking), they learn the hard way what a Cold War is ( they freeze in winter), the Euro is quickly declining, and more.
Maybe the brain dead supporting Biden’s war are waking up and realizing Vlad outmaneuvered and checkmated senile old Joe and the west.
Good job Brandon.
Zelensky is so full of double talk.....he sounds like Pelosi and the left.
He must have borrowed a script from one of his TV shows.
“ Zelensky is just acting the clown”
Hey there Mr. Dog Butt. That’s the only factual statement to come from your keyboard. Zelensky is acting. Acting like he is president of Ukraine. His regime is about to be changed by Putin and the Ruskies!
