Klitschko: Zelensky 'risks political suicide' in case of concessions to Russia, will need to hold referendum
Kyiv Independent ^ | 7/21/24

Posted on 07/21/2024 7:30:17 PM PDT by hardspunned

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a July 21 interview that President Volodymyr Zelensky will likely need to hold a public referendum before agreeing to any territorial compromises with Russia.

The statement follows a proposal by former U.S. President Donald Trump for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. As Trump's victory in the Nov. 5 presidential election becomes more likely, efforts are underway to sway him to Ukraine's side and ensure that any potential deal is favorable to Kyiv.

"The next few months will be very difficult for Volodymyr Zelensky. Should he continue the war with new deaths and destruction, or consider a territorial compromise with Putin?" Klitschko said during an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. "How can we explain to the country that we need to give up pieces of our territory that cost the lives of thousands of our fighting heroes? Whatever move he makes, our president risks political suicide."

He said that "Zelensky will probably need to resort to a referendum."

Can't do that. Can't have elections in the middle of a war.

The neoCONs, whose roots go back to Marxism, have committed genocide against white Ukrainian Christians just like the Russian commies did in the 30s.

“risk political suicide”

He is a billionaire now.

Zelensky ran the Long Con (with our money) and can disappear to another life somewhere else in the world.

His country is destroyed and there is nothing left to rule.

The Uke Nazis have very credibly threatened Z’s life if he negotiates.

similarly, the following account of the rigged Pakistani election would not be tolerated by ABC if you were talking about the 2020 US presidential election.

listen from 3hr9mins to 3hr29mins for exact replay of 2020 US presidential election shenanigans - counting in Feb 2024 election stops with Imran Khan’s PTI party winning by landslide, count resumes with entirely different results. criticises Biden Admin. Pakistan public wants Trump back in the WH, Trump & Imran Khan had great chemistry, etc.

If one has a Billion $ in over seas accounts, I expect he will bail out when he feels it is time to go.

“Can’t do that. Can’t have elections in the middle of a war.”

I guess you’re being sarcastic, but seriously, The Confederate States of America managed to hold national congressional elections in 1863 and state elections in 1864 and they were in a worse state than Ukraine is now.

It could go at any time. He’d best be carful. Ceausescu was addressing the multitudes, four days later he was up against a wall.

When someone is running a Long Con, they know when it is time to bail out.

KGB Russia invaded Ukraine. Putin called for cultural genocide against Ukrainians. You are projecting KGB crimes onto those opposing the invasion. Look in the mirror and get help

It is the Zeepers here who made excuses why the Global Homo did not hold
elections. The excuse was can’t hold elections while at War with Ruzzia.

Soros, 0bama, Nuland, and Her Heinous Hillary Bathory Clinton, plotted to keep Klitschco from being PM. Unlike Zelensky, Klitschko is well respected. Remember the unearthed recordings of Nuland saying “F*ck Klitschko!” This gang did the bidding of Soros..
