“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.

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!

You’re correct; that’s not something that most Russians would understand. I think the ones would would rather perish already did, and the rest are the ones who would sell their own mothers to the gulag for another day’s worth of bread.
