In his video address, Zelensky said that Ukraine will not make any concessions to Russia, emphasizing that "nothing will be given as a gift" and that Kyiv will continue to defend its territory and sovereignty.
"In the recent Trump-Putin phone call, Russian President Putin demanded Ukraine surrender the rest of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, in exchange Moscow will drop claims for the remaining Kherson and Zaporozhye regions," - The Washington Post.
I guess this means more dead White people. I wish the two would stop.
“”””nothing will be given as a gift””””
It’s a war. Nothing is “given”. It is TAKEN.
Negotiating in public is always a bad plan.
I am sure the discussions behind the scenes are very different.
And he must be blind...Russia already occupies certain areas...and Ukraine hasn't budged them.
Yep
Russia already controls over 70% of Donetsk
And adding a little more each day
Doubling down on losing.
Just now:
Putin is going to take something [from Ukraine] — Trump
‘I mean, they fought… he has won certain property’

Zelensky “I get what I want with temper tantrums while thousands of people die”.
This is a failing strategy.
He’s stubborn and seems to value land more than people. I wonder if they took a vote in Ukraine with the results would be.
Trump: “We can’t give all of our weapons to Ukraine. We just can’t do that. And I’ve been very good to President Zelenskyy and to Ukraine.”

Didn't the Z-man suspend elections .... now I can see why.
“adding a little more each day”
very, very little land, each day
quite a number of Russian dead, each day
The Ukrainians expect the Russian attacks in Donetsk and are prepared.
Zelensky’s lips might be moving but the voice is from the WEF.
My suggested negotiating framework:
Step 1, Terms Written Up: Days 1-14
The Russians should be asked to type up a complete long-term peace proposal.
The Ukrainians should be asked to type up a complete long-term peace proposal.
******
In Putin’s dream world, every Russian demand would be incorporated in the final deal, which would be made public.
There’s no legitimate reason for secrecy.
******
Once all the demands of both sides are known, our State Department could write up a proposal that Putin might accept, which could be offered up to Putin if Ukraine agrees. If Ukraine doesn’t want to work with the US via such a proposal or a reasonable modification thereof, Zelensky can be told to sell war bonds.
Yes, just like hamas was prepared for IdF justice. Same mindset, same result.
Zelensky has nothing to give....
The worst thing is, almost all of these people are literate, Christian, many are skilled tradesman, some even professionals with higher education...
Understandable, why should Ukraine surrender territory it currently holds just for holding talks with Putin.
