Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, explaining the reasons behind his country’s refusal to negotiate with Moscow, compared Russia to an insatiable “cachalot” who would not understand the language of diplomacy.
In a Friday interview with the Wall Street Journal, Zelensky responded to the recent remarks of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, who said earlier this week that Russia and Ukraine could have ended their conflict in March if Kiev had not withdrawn from negotiations.

Yep... Got to keep the cash cow alive.
Putin demanded Ukraine agree to never join NATO, a de-militarized Ukraine, recognition of Crimea as being Russian, recognition that Luhansk and Donbas Oblasts are independent, giving evey Oblast the right to leave Ukraine and recognition of Russian as an official language. Its a de-facto end to Ukrainian independence and existence as a country.
There’s nothing to talk about until the last Russian soldier leaves Ukraine.
Moreover, he believes there is another reason conducting talks no longer makes sense. Russia will never stop seizing Ukrainian territories, he claimed.
“It is a cachalot that has swallowed two regions and now says: Freeze the conflict. Then it will rest and, in two or three years, it will seize two more regions and say again: Freeze the conflict. And it will keep going further and further. One hundred percent,” the Ukrainian leader said.
The Ukraine isn't a country, it's a NATO staging area, a corrupt, Biden, money laundering operation cheered on by Neocons and Think Tank posters. It is the Christopher Steele of nations; a fraud, a ruse, a CIA operation. It's no wonder you cheer for it.
A given.
Expected.
Who cares?
Not Putin or Russia.
2000km by Ukraine hailed by all the propaganda ridden Western/UK/US/EU/NATO what?
Russia just scooped up 108,000km of land that produces nearly 95% or Ukraine’s overall GDP and resources.
This isn’t a war.
It’s the latest scam.
“Zelensky is doing the bidding of London and Washington.”
What has he to negotiate about? Russia has occupied and claimed as its own the eastern part of his country. He wants it back. Is Russia going to voluntarily give it back via negotiations? No. So, why should he negotiate? Ukraine is in an existential war.
Recall Churchill’s words:
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” — Winston Churchill.
But, that is not something you’d understand.
What is it about Zelenskyy, the dirty loon in a filthy T-shirt, that attracts you so?
Bingo & period!
The newly liberated Donbas region has used a safe and secure referendum which allowed it's citizens to join Russia. This is democracy, and a beacon of light for America!
Sing, dance, rejoice!
LOL, is that you Vladimir Putin?
Compared to the real end of Ukraine which is unfolding before our eyes it is pretty modest. None of it could have taken place in Minsk agreements were fulfilled.
“The newly liberated Donbas region has used a safe and secure referendum which allowed it’s citizens to join Russia. This is democracy, and a beacon of light for America!”
You beclown yourself. I’m sure even some of your fellow pro-Russia FReepers think you’re full of @#$%.
Riggggght....
Truer words were never spoken. Thanks for the concise summary of the gigantic fraud. Ukraine is none of America’s business except for the criminal American politicians using it as the world’s largest money laundering operation.
If we end up with a nuclear holocaust that kills most of the planet, it will be because of the godless, money-grubbing and power-mad people in charge in America whose evil knows no bounds.
Don’t you just love the tyrants trying to take away our automobiles to “save the planet” have blown up two undersea pipelines releasing gigantic quantities of methane gas into the Baltic Sea?
These tyrants don’t want to save the planet. Nor do they care about all the Ukrainians being slaughtered. They want to seize more power to completely control the world’s people and make sure the people have no voice or power, even over their own lives.
Putin did not mobilize 300,000 (or more) because he wants to talk. His goal is to take all of Ukraine. Then move on to the next target.
You nailed it. The worst among us have risen the highest.
