Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the end of the war will be "diplomatic."
"Before, I thought that it would be possible to end only with a dialogue... I thought that it would be a dialogue, that in this dialogue it would be possible to find answers to many questions and many decisions with the Russian side," he said in an interview with the ICTV broadcaster shown during the Saturday telethon.
Now, he said, "I understand that the ending will be diplomatic." "Now it's like a car – not a gasoline or electric car, neither a hybrid. That's why the war is so difficult and the victory will be very difficult. It will be bloody, in battle, but the ending will definitely be in diplomacy," Zelensky said.
"There are things that we will not be able to complete otherwise than at the negotiating table. We want to return everything, the Russian Federation wants not to give everything away," he said.
Nor should he while the scumbag Soviet Red Army is killing people in Ukraine and occupying Ukrainian territory.

Okay, but do realize the WEST is willing to fight “ bad Vlad” down to the last Ukrainian.
At the current rate, there will be no Ukies left to fight Vlad by Christmas. What then?
Soviet Russia never went away.

Sorry, you must be a democrat. I worked in Moscow training Ivan’s for three years, I know better. You keyboard commando types are part of the problem.
There are so many strange things in the world these days it’s hard to keep up
“well it’s been a long journey from Milan to Minsk” ...
Do you remember this awful Ukrainian who worked tirelessly to take Trump down?

Russia is losing this war. I know no serious military analyst with experience in the region who believes otherwise. Moreover, it now seems possible Ukraine may liberate the territories seized since February & look to free the territories occupied since 2014.
the funny crap is in the papers.
no one would have the info they claim.
you would zip it
I was a spook all mylife and it aint james bond stuff
or die hard, it’s diplomacy
No, I hate and loathe bullies with every fiber of my being.

Exactly what I think of NATO and the western Neocons- read your history junior, do you remember when Khrushchev put missiles in Cuba? What was our response? Vlad had enough of NATO encroachment, he gave the NATO bullies enough warnings.
That said, we are no better than Vlad, Bosnia, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, etc…
what is this fool talk of putin popping off nukes on his own border? feh! poppycock
bingo
I pray

Judging by the hate you spew I can assume you do not pray.
No, I’d just like to see him in chains in a Kyiv courtroom facing justice for his crimes.

It is far more likely you will see the crook Zelensky and his government in a courtroom for stealing billions.
And let’s not forget his ability to play the piano without his hands. Sick!
Some people will see the evidence of Zelensky acting like this yet brush it off, have no evidence of Putin behaving like this but may claim Putin does.
Maybe they have a crush on Zelensky and get triggered if they think their crush is being mocked?
Some here seem really angry at Putin and rant and rave against him, but it’s all talk as they are Karen, chickenhawk keyboard warriors too cowardly to parachute in and fight in Ukraine.
Some clearly doth protest too much against Putin.
Nah, he’s got a man crush on Zelensky ... he’s enthralled with those dance moves ... get’s a stiffy ...
Zelensky is quite correct about the need for diplomacy.
Most here probably read the transcript of his phone call with Trump.
He is a decent person in a very demanding position trying to do the best possible job.
The Russians are reaching the limit of what military force can do for them.
Without strong local ethnic Russian support, ground taken by the Russian army can’t be held because of a shortage of Russian manpower.
Also, Russians living in Ukrainian cities to not want the Russian army to ‘rescue’ them by blowing their cities and homes to bits, which the Russian army would typically do.
