Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asserted that no world leader has the right to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin on behalf of Ukraine.

Speaking to Le Parisien readers, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine alone determines its future and any dialogue with Russia must follow a peace plan based on strength and international support.

He warned against negotiating without clear guarantees of security, highlighting the risks of Putin resuming aggression after a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy called for a strategy ensuring Ukraine’s long-term stability and security, beyond NATO or EU membership timelines.

      What exactly do you describe Russia’s actions in Ukraine then if not imperialism? Do you believe Ukrainians have a right to self determination?

          lmfao. okay bro, you know literally nothing about me, but apparently i’m already a fascist.

          and resources doesn’t make a country any less/more genocidal, or imperialist.

          and fuck the US, fuck putin. unlike you, i’m not a hypocrite.

            Except Putin with all his craziness has done significantly less carnage compared to US & Israel (That’s Putin’s only redeeming quality) Reminder not justifying Russia’s actions but hey you people usually ignore that

              Two things can be bad at once. Eastern Imperialists are still Imperialists.

              And how does this justify the invasion? Russia is in the wrong. I’m not sure who or what you’re arguing for here.

                  Did you expect me to say the US should invade Brazil in that case, as a gotcha? Because I don’t.

      Putin has repeatedly mentioned in public interviews that he wants to restore the Russian Empire. Do you think he’s lying?
