'Better than to fight for 10-20 years': Zelenskyy makes statement on ceasefire
RBC-Ukraine ^ | July 24, 2026 | Daryna Vialko

Posted on 07/24/2026 3:00:39 PM PDT by Engraved-on-His-hands

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a ceasefire would be the best possible outcome if it helps save Ukrainian lives. He also said US President Donald Trump now understands that Russia, not Ukraine, is the side unwilling to end the war, Zelenskyy said in an interview with American far-right blogger Laura Loomer.

Ceasefire is preferable to a prolonged war

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine's top priority is saving lives, which makes a potential ceasefire a better scenario than a multi-year war for the sake of military victory.

According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has not abandoned its goal of winning the war, but the cost of victory cannot be measured in endless human losses.

When their constitution allows it.

And what percentage of the vote did Putin get in Russia’s “democratic” election?

In the US, all of this “Democracy” speak is bunkum.

At least Russia requires ID to vote (along with 98% of the other countries).

Hasn’t Russia lost way more? And not all of them are Chechens.

"When their constitution allows it."

The Ukraine Parliament could change the Constitution anytime they'd like. They've done it before when it suited their needs, but they won't do it now, because that would mean that Ukraine citizens would have a say at the ballot box in what is happening in their country.

And don't give me a comeback about Putin, because that has nothing to do with the subject. Those of us who are against the U.S. bankrolling yet another proxy war with Russia, don't really give a crap about either country. This country had a revolution to get rid of an oppressive government that refused to give us our right to representation when it came to forcing laws down our throats. That's basically what the Ukraine Parliament and their dictator President is doing to its own people.
