Volodymyr Zelensky is willing to step down as president of Ukraine in exchange for peace or the country being granted Nato membership.

Independent of Zelensky's offer, I think he should resign or be removed by the parliament of Ukraine and replaced by one of Ukraine's top generals.
For example. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, a former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, now retired, currently serving as Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Give Russia the two areas where there was a referendum to Russia...IN FEE...and stop the bloodshed.
Hmmm... And just what sort of guarantee would he offer that he would indeed step down? Hmmm?
Sorry, no.
No.
No WWIII starting in Ukraine.
Peace now, on what terms are available.
And note the tagline everyone everywhere.
Back to the same old nonsense Ill step down with security guarantees
Back to the same old nonsense Ill step down with security guarantees
So what does Zelensky’s “security guarantee” guarantee?
“The poor people of Ukraine have no idea what’s going on.”
Only the people of Russia know what’s going on?
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
Obedience is freedom.
Who control the past, controls the future.
Big brother is watching you.
“Peace now, on what terms are available.”
Only runaway slaves are whipped.
Better red than dead.
There were Jews in the concentration camps that collaborated with the Nazis so they would be killed last.
Ize a poor an’ simple man. Whachoo meen?
Z wants either Nato membership which is no, US troops which is a no, or nuclear weapons which is a no. So forget it Zelensky.
He just doesn’t understand. The US security guarantees he wants simply aren’t on the table, under any circumstances.
“Security agreement” = US troops in Ukraine = WW3, which is the globalists’ goal. Exterminate much of the world’s population, and they alone can rule over the rubble. You can bet that they will be safe in their bunkers while it all goes down.
My take is that the US needs to leave the now-obsolete NATO agreement. it has outlived its usefulness and is now a tool of globalists. Europe is destroying itself by letting all those raggedy people in. They’re self-destructing, and they’d love to take Russia down with them.
Note that Russia doesn’t care for any globalist nonsense, which is why the elites hate them. They don’t like conservative Americans either for similar reasons - we are NOT globalist minded people.
Hi Sacajaweau, I’ve seen you on FreeRepublic many times spouting Putin’s “truth.”
In the first round of the Ukrainian presidential election of 2019, Zelenky won Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Yurily Boyko, candidate of the Party of Regions, won the parts of Donestk and Luhansk on the Ukrainian side of the 2014 ceasefire line, but with much less then 90 percent. That referendums gave joining with Russia in all four places 90 percent of the vote isn’t credible.
During the communist era, the communists routinely scored massive victories in so-called elections. Saddam Hussein likewise scored massive victories. These were phony elections. In democratic countries, elections tend to be close, and parties tend to alternate winning elections. “Tend,” yes, there are some exceptions.
We, in the U.S., call getting 60 percent of the vote in a Presidential election a landslide (the last time this happened was in 1984). Winning with 90 percent of the vote is a mark of a rigged election.
“troops in Ukraine = WWIII”
Putin has spoken!!!
Ukrainian dirt for your continued existence above that dirt. Deal?
“US security guarantees ... aren’t on the table, under any circumstances.”
I am thinking this could be the case. Trump seems to be posturing as an isolationist. He’s withdrawing the U.S. from the world militarily and initiating trade wars with our neighbors and former allies. I say “seems.” We’ll see what is actually the case; and, we’ll see what, if anything, the U.S. Congress says.
But, if the U.S. goes iso, why would Ukraine grant U.S. companies rights to develop their mineral resources? For that matter, if U.S. companies invest billions to develop mineral resources in Ukraine, wouldn’t the U.S. government have to do something to protect that investment?
Trump, first term, emphasized our NATO allies meeting their obligations (not the U.S. withdrawing from NATO). Trump, first term, emphasized fair trade and approved trade agreements with Canada and Mexico (the new NAFTA or USMCA), and with Korea and Japan. He sought trade agreements with the EU and with the UK after it withdrew from the EU (although nothing came from these negotiations). Trump, first term, also promoted sale of US energy to the countries of eastern Europe. So, Trump, first term, was an internationalist as well as an America First’er.
I think the matter is complicated and Trump is in a bargaining mode. I also think Zelensky should have finalized a mineral rights deal BEFORE meeting Trump, so the meeting would have been purely ceremonial. Trump has bargained with international banks, labor unions and local politicians in New York City, Chicago and elsewhere. One thing he knows is making deals.
When Z says “security guarantees” he means nukes.
Putin was willing to sacrifice his military for 20% of Ukraine. Not withstanding his nukes, he has no military remaining, that’s why you will only see 1 tank at the May 1 parade.
When you come, hat-in-hand, you do not set the conditions...he knows he has little support and it’s only a matter of time before his own people take him out...
