Volodymyr Zelensky said that his country needed security guarantees from Nato and more weapons to defend itself before any talks with Russia.

Ukraine’s president made the comments after meeting Kaja Kallas, the EU’s new head of diplomacy, and Antonio Costa, freshly appointed president of the European Council, who were visiting Kyiv as a show of support on their first day in office.

“An invitation for Ukraine to join Nato is a necessary thing for our survival,” Mr Zelensky said at a press conference with Mr Costa.

It comes after Mr Zelenksy appeared to shift his position dramatically on Friday by accepting that Ukraine may have to give up some territory “temporarily” to end the war. He said the occupied land could be negotiated back in the future “diplomatically”.

Ukraine faces a tough winter ahead, with Russia unleashing devastating barrages against its power grid and Kyiv’s fatigued forces losing ground on the frontline.

Delusional.

Ukraine will never be a member of NATO.

The only security guarantee it will get will be from Moscow.

somebody spank this spoiled brats but and explain NO to him finally.

[A Navy Vet]

No, no, no!

[cdcdawg]

Or what? What will he do if he doesn’t get what he wants?

[wildcard_redneck]

Little Z-Man can make all of the demands he wants but if Trump cuts off military aid the Europeans are too weak to help him and Zelensky is a dead man.

[mass55th]

Dictator Zelensky has overstayed his legal shelf-life. He’s in no position to ask for or demand anything.

Guarantees? You mean that we won’t hang his sorry ass for the death of his younger generation?

[BipolarBob]

Winner (Russia) gets the spoils. The loser (Mr.Z and Ukes) get spanked.

The littlest turd that won’t flush.

Only guarantee I’d give him is Zero Dollars.

[cgbg]

We should promise Z we will not let Putin execute him until after the negotiations are complete.

Lol.

[exPBRrat]

What about Russia’s free and unencumbered access to the sea...can you guaranteed that?

[dadgum]

Never NATO.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Ever see the movie Beyond Valley of the Dolls? It had a tranny character named Z-Man.

[ComputerGuy]

How does one say Chutzpah in Ukrainian?

[mairdie]

Blackmail proposal.

[ducttape45]

He is indeed delusional.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Why don’t you give back the money you took prancer.

[iamgalt]

A man with no leverage is no position to make demands. The largest rat money laundering op in history is over.
