Zelensky, who had previously rejected a ceasefire proposed by Russia, says that "it is necessary to put pressure on the side that does not want to put an end to the war"
MOSCOW, May 15. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump has exerted more pressure on Ukraine than on Russia, said Vladimir Zelensky at a briefing after talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"From the very beginning, you saw the position of the United States, the position of President [Donald] Trump, and that was to put pressure on both sides. I think there was more pressure on us than on Russia. This is my position," Zelensky said.
Zelensky, who had previously rejected a ceasefire proposed by Russia, believes that "it is necessary to put pressure on the side that does not want to put an end to the war."
On May 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Ukraine to resume direct negotiations, interrupted in 2022, without preconditions, on May 15 in Istanbul to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and possibly achieve a ceasefire.
As Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova later said, there is absolute logic in choosing the venue: negotiations are resuming where they were interrupted at the insistence of Great Britain, which put pressure on Kiev three years ago.
he simply looked at the cards “Z” was holding and said...”You have o be kidding. It’s a good hand for “Fish”...but “Poker?”.....lol
Gads! Will the punk in the green T-shirt never stop whining while he’s trying to grift us?
You don’t have any cards, Zelensky - next we’ll hear again that he wants Crimea back.
If true, rightfully so.
Well of course he believes that…we haven’t been giving billions of dollars in munitions and kickback monies to Russia🤷🏼♂️🤡🤡🤡
What a crybaby.
The hell with both Ukraine and Russia. George HW Bush and Bill Clinton were morons for forcing Ukraine to give up its nukes. They made Russian domination of Ukraine inevitable, with the only alternative being US protection of Ukraine, and Ukraine is not our problem.
Ukraine lost this war before it even started
He is still playing. Idea crime family rules
Guess the phase “negotiating from strength” means nothing to Mr. Z?
Little Green Goblin 🐸🤡😂
No S&%+ Sherlock; pressure applied in direct proportion to need for pressure.
Who really cares. Europe which has more at stake than the USA was to weak to deter Russia.
Little ‘z’. To say he is an ungrateful stubborn hopelessly optimistic puppet of Soros wouldn’t even cover it.
Vlad the Invader. To say that he works out problems using a invade first approach to ‘recreate’ the Soviet Empire wouldn’t cover it either.
Which of the two are more annoying? Trump has done a great job getting them to at least try to find a peaceful settlement. Little z and Vlad the invader can make money without having to exterminate a bunch of kids and civilians, by just pumping oil and gas and mining. Just to remind everyone that this war was brought to you by the deep state, US politicians greed, Obama/Biden(s) and has managed now to probably kill millions and certainly tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Further, it could de-stabilize Russia itself which could lead to their southern border being vulnerable.
Zelensky is a spoiled low-IQ child who thinks if he tantrums, he’s going to get his way.
Trump is trying to save as much of Ukraine as he can, but Zelensky blew him off and is still too stupid to realize it.
The territorial amputation is going to get bigger with every stalling tactic.
NATO and EU teasing a dying bear, hoping to accelerate death was a dumb idea.
Zelensky Believes Trump Put More Pressure on Ukraine than on Russia
That’s because Putin is not using our arms, Ukraine is.
Go back to being a male prostitute, Ziggy.
If Zelensky does not change his course, very bad things could happen in Ukraine in the very near future because Zelensky and his foreign backers want to escalate the war, not end it.
Isn’t it fascinating that poor Russia is so gullible it constantly is being goaded into doing horrible things? How about if Russia just behaves itself doesn’t invade its neighbors makes peace As Trump is requesting gee why would that be so hard?
