Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.
“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Why is it that country A starts occupying parts of country B, and some people start expecting country B to have peace discussions (ie, give land to country A)? There should be calls to country A to stop occupying country B’s land, and that’s it.
That’s how they have decided to spin this: co-opt the language of peace and dialogue to justify aggression.
Too bad it’s so obviously transparent.
I suppose your definition of being “pro-peace” involves sending billions in weapons?
Yup. Russia doesn’t understand diplomacy. Only force. It’s sad that russia acts this way, so, unfortunately, beating them is the only way to have lasting peace.
That or leadership change but I don’t think putler fears anything more than losing power and the people are either weak or live in a propaganda bubble.
Peace through Superior firepower.
There can be no peace if one side wants to wipe your very existence out.
Thank you for demonstrating exactly what I referring to.
Yeah, unironically it does in this instance.
if only your heros had billions* in weapons to use lol
