Zelensky Declares Ukraine Will ‘Never Cede’ Occupied Territories to Russia, Suggests Trump Being Naive About Putin
Breitbart ^ | 03/27/2025 | Kurt Zindulka

Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday evening that Ukraine will “never cede” the occupied territories to Russia while expressing doubts about the Trump-led efforts to bring peace and suggesting the President is being deceived by Vladimir Putin.

Speaking to the French paper Le Figaro ahead of yet another summit in Paris, Zelensky once again appears to have been emboldened by European allies as they expressed a hardline position towards Moscow in the ongoing U.S.-led negotiations.

“One thing is certain: we will never cede our occupied territories to Russia. These lands belong to the Ukrainians,” Zelensky said.

The lady that I work with who is from Ukraine who is in her '50s said the same thing last week. That the Ukraine should never stop fighting until that land taken back. Good luck with that. It's crazy how they both say the same things. And if you disagree, it's Russian propaganda.

Yes it sounds heroic but will never lead to a good end.

Zelinski, France and the other participating European nations are merely doing what author Donald J Trump recommended be done in his essay on successful negotiation.

Trump threw Ukraine under the bus because he is not negotiating for peace in Ukraine, he is negotiating for a realignment of world powers and Ukraine is in the way.

I guess 95% extinction rate of the fertile aged population is just not enough for them.

Well, the Ukes and the Russkies have been fighting this war for a thousand years. Let it go on forever. Without us. I agree, the Ukes probably will never give up. The only way the Russkies will take it over is by force and it will super expensive to keep it by force. Have fun!

Is it any wonder why DJT and Putin are negotiating Peace without Zelensky and the EU participating?

Luke 14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

Paraguay had a similar view to Ukraine today in their war against the Triple Alliance in 1864-1870. 90% of the men died in battle leaving a country of only women.

Well then Trump should make a statement that we are ending any effort to try and make peace. You don’t have the cards but go ahead and play them.

Well, it certainly might be alleged that he is negotiating under false pretenses.

One thing is certain: we will never cede our occupied territories to Russia. These lands belong to the Ukrainians,” Zelensky said.

In other words, this war isn’t going to end anytime soon.

He has no choice? He is a puppet that had some much shady sh*t going on in his country that he will never stop because he can’t? Europe is scared sh*tless if Putin gets his hands on any of it? The Panama Papers, Epstein links, bio labs and worse are all ran through there or based out of there?

If Ukraine keeps fighting, they will only lose more ground.

More/longer war = bigger failure.

President Trump has targeted Easter as the date for a cease fire.

Why?

Easter would be a wonderful sign of good will of course. After Easter, the weather also warms up enough to allow for a Russian offensive.

The Russians have been holding back for the last year in hopes for a new leadership that will shoot for peace.

Once that option is off the table, they really don't have any choice but to go forward.

At that point, the Ukraine will be defeated unless NATO mobilizes and commits to direct NATO military intervention, ie - WWIII in Europe.

When this happens, there is a distinct possibility of nuclear weapons being used since use of nuclear weapons to offset Russian conventional force weakness has been Russian military doctrine the 2000s

Time is running out to settle this .

I’m surprised someone hasn’t “disappeared” him yet.
