Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that excluding Ukraine from US-Russia ceasefire talks is very dangerous and undermines peace efforts.

He urged more detailed discussions between Kyiv and Washington, stressing that Russia’s refusal to make concessions prolongs the conflict and hinders any realistic ceasefire negotiations.

Zelenskyy emphasized that robust US sanctions and military support can pressure Russia while calling for essential security guarantees, including NATO membership.

He also mentioned a French proposal for European forces in Ukraine and urged US Secretary Rubio to visit immediately to witness the conflict’s devastation firsthand.

Americans, Russians, and Chinese think we the rest are beneath them and subject to their dick swinging, violence, and theft while nobody dares object.

They are bullies. Old as time.

Zelenskyy needs to get ahold of the pee pee tape.

It wouldn't make any difference with Republicans.

I've no idea what the downvotes are for. You are right. The world is scarred from colonialism and now its resurging.

Trumps gonna do what he wants to get a "win" and declare an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. Also, and most importantly, he is a Russian asset bought and paid.

Ukraine should be under no obligation to adhere to a negotiation about its own fate when two Warmongeirng, Untrustworthy, Imperialistic actors are speaking about them, without them.

I agree, not even a video of Trump tearing pages from the Bible, using it to roll-up a joint, and smoke alongside Satan while discussing how he will relinquish his voters wellbeing and souls to him will make Republicans change their views.

But it worked out so well for Czechoslovakia back in the day! Hitler and the Entente decided that giving Germany the Sudetenland was a reasonable price to avoid war and the appeasement worked and everyone was happy forever.

The people of a nation should always be included in the discussion on the future of it.

It would just be dismissed as AI now. Everything like that will be dismissed as AI.

[rockerface@lemm.ee]

Oh we have a history of that as well. Ukraine has almost always had to fight for independence.

So-called peace talks without one of the two parties involved in the war. Amazing.

This reminds me more of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.
