KYIV — Ukraine currently doesn’t have the military strength to retake all the territory Russia has occupied since 2014, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told French daily Le Parisien on Wednesday.
But that doesn’t mean Kyiv is about to recognize its Moscow-controlled lands as belonging to Russia, he added. “Legally, we cannot give up our territories. This is prohibited by the constitution. But let’s not use such big words. Russia actually controls part of our territory today,” Zelenskyy said in response to a question as to how far Kyiv is prepared to compromise to end the war following Moscow’s February 2022 full-scale invasion.

A good lesson to be learned by the war cheerleaders and Neocons. Next up? Pull out of Nato, let the EU handle the mess of their own making.
Cutting off the EU and Europe would be the best thing for the European people. Faced with pure survival they will depose the communist animals ruling them and truly be free.
Which ones? They changed from week to week beginning in March 2022.
Z finally states the obvious.
Goodnight Ukraine….Vlad’s stated objectives will be met…..so, so predictable from day one- especially when virtually everyone bought into senile Joe’s lying narrative.
LOL. Apparently, we have Papal Infallibility and Kremlin Tsar Infaliabity?
The reality is Ukraine has never gotten enough economic and military support to win because the WEF EU Globohomos just can’t wait to partner again with Putin’s regime and don’t want him defeated. Cheap Russian energy is critical to the EU Globohomo agenda and in large part finances it. Ukrainians wanting their own borders, language and culture separate from the filthy Russian World has interrupted the Putin-Globohomo partnership and everyone wants back to business as almost usual.
It’s been obvious since the EU and Biden administration gave Putin’s regime literally years to sow the earth with millions of mines and dig in on stolen Ukrainian land. That can only have been a deliberate policy and was designed to bully Ukraine to give up its sovereignty to the benefit of others. Empire building Russian revanchists, EU Globohomo businesses doing business with Russia, etc.
Never heard of “to the victor goes the spoils”?
The EU and Biden were quite dumb. Should have stuck with Minsk.
The west should never bothered negotiating with a lying two-faced Bolshevik like Putin. Russian revanchists like Putin consider Ukraine and neighboring countries to be part of Russia and US policy needs to reflect that reality.
It’s all here straight from Putin’s mouth:

We knew this three years ago.
The real question is whether Ukraine has the might to remove the yoke of tyranny this Banderite munchkin has placed over them?

What does the “Art of War” say? Is war deception? Glad that Putin and the Russians posting here believe this. Yep, the Russians must be completely safe and the war is going well.
Lets face it, the war does not go well for Russia. Should the war have gone well for Russia it would have been over in the first few weeks/days. Now, they have depleted economy, vehicles, conscripts, mercenaries, airforce, and even depleted North Koreans. Further, the artillery advantage is rapidly disappearing as the new western production comes on line and the NK’s and Chinese run out of shells. What was a 10+:1 artillery advantage is now like 1.5:1. More and more F-16’s arrive, as well as other ‘western’ equipment. The drone advantage of Ukraine is already devastating.
If I were defending Ukraine, I would let the Russians burn themselves out doing offensives until all of their ‘war stocks’ were gone, and their soldiers died 12:1 in offensive campaigns taking very little ground. Then, when Russia was hurting economically, politically, and forced to dig deep for more conscripts without working vehicles, I would start offensive operations. I might negotiate with Putin when I got close to Moscow. All the while the Russians could post how well the war is going for Russia on the boards.
If I were Putin and Zelenskyy, I would find a way to end the war and economically get along. Peace would be the best victory, especially if both nations could open trade with the rest of Europe and potentially make TONS of money with NG, Oil, Food, and manufacturing, especially if they cooperated.
Z should have sued for peace before he sent so many of his countrymen to slaughter….
