Ukraine is the country that passed a law prohibiting Zelensky from negotiating with Russia.

This is crazy to read.

[kiryandil]

Aren’t these the same guys that stalled the rare-earth mineral deal with the US?

Ukraine Accuses Russia of Stalling Peace Negotiations

That's a false accusation.

Putin does not want to engage in negotiations, which is not the same as stalling negotiations.

You can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Putin does not want to drink and he doesn't want to be taken to the water.

Ukraine is the country that passed a law prohibiting Zelensky from negotiating with Russia.

Any lie will serve with The Gaslight Western Media.

No matter. The AFU is getting exterminated because of its stubborn "leaders".

[adorno]

Ukraine is the country that passed a law prohibiting Zelensky from negotiating with Russia.

Can you post some of that law here?

Besides, if somebody invades your home, why should you engage in negotiations to get the invader out? The invader is the one that violated the law, and should be booted out and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Ahhhh.

The NY Times and the Ukraine.

Two groups of liars in bed together!

Ukraine is the country that passed a law prohibiting Zelensky from negotiating with Russia.

No, it bans third parties from bypassing the Ukraine government

According to a source in Ukraine's president's office, the decree was a "signal to those in Ukraine who wanted to speak (to Russians) bypassing the central government."

"Back then we stated the impossibility, now we can state the possibility, the president as the head of state determines this," the source added.

We have a similar law called the Logan Act.

Ukraine is the country that passed a law prohibiting Zelensky from negotiating with Russia.

Perhaps you missed the news that Zelensky was in Turkey waiting to negotiate face-to-face with Putin? It was Putin who did not show up.

[House Atreides]

“Ahhhh.

The NY Times and the Ukraine.

Two groups of liars in bed together!”

Ukraine Accuses Russia of Stalling Peace Negotiations

Does this mean we get to see many more Ukrainians die while Zelensky plays the Piano for Starmer and Macron's Paris All of France No-Go Zones expand?

I'm making popcorn!

The decree prohibited any talks with Putin:

Zelenskiy decree rules out Ukraine talks with Putin as ‘impossible’

Yet Zelensky was in Turkey to meet with Putin. It was Putin who did not show up.

The decree prohibited any talks with Putin:

Right, so the president of Ukraine forbade himself from communicating with Putin?

Ukrainian lawmaker and chair of the parliament's foreign affairs committee, Oleksandr Merezhko, told the Kyiv Independent that the problem lies in the interpretation of the decree.

According to Ukraine's constitution, the president represents the state in international relations, manages foreign policy, and negotiates and concludes international treaties on behalf of Ukraine.

"The constitution is always above a presidential decree," Merezhko said. "The constitution clearly says that he (the president) negotiates. That is, he decides with whom to negotiate, when to negotiate, and in what format," he added.

"The decree was aimed at preventing attempts and prohibiting others from conducting any negotiations with Putin."

I don’t know what perverted source you are using, but Reuters says it how it is.

Was Zelensky willing to meet and negotiate with Putin in Turkey? Yes

[ConservativeMind]

It wasn’t even legal for him to do so.

Nothing could have come from it. It was a show to the world—and you.

[tlozo]

It wasn’t even legal for him to do so.

So now you're an expert on Ukraines presidential powers? Its called a presidential decree.

[Kazan]

It's Zelensky and the EU that have gone out of their way to undermine any peace deal.

Both want the war to continue and to draw us into it.
