Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine.

“If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” he said. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership… I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years.”

His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war.

Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.

    I mean, if a loss is inevitable anyways, why lose our lives along with the war?

    Why buy into propaganda that only serves Western interests at the expense of Ukrainians’ lives?

    Ukrainians die, Westerners get money for their MIC and have fewer Russians to worry about.

    Ukrainians really should be asking themselves if it was smart to fall for western propaganda. Ukraine has always been a tool for the West, nothing more.

      Last year the Russia was advancing faster than expected. During the whole year they managed to conquer 0.7 % of Ukraine’s total area. Less than one percent. And that’s their “fast”.

      Their recruitment capacity is 25 000 to 35 000 soldiers per montg, which tranalates to roughly 1000 per day. And losses (dead+wounded) have been mostly around 1800 per day.

      Recent video footage shows almost no Russian tanks but only light DIY vehicles.

      Even if Ukraine was to lose all western military support, the Russia would not be able to advance faster than 10 times the speed of last year. And that would be 7% of Ukraine’s total territory. Not enough for victory.

      The Ukrainian economy is so small that EU countries would have no problem covering 100% of its budget. Ukraine’s economy will therefore survive indefinitely. The Russia’s won’t.

      Time is strongly on Ukraine’s side. They can lose only if the west withdraws all support. We’re not stupid enough to do that.

      So, as you said: Since the Russia’s loss is inevitable, why continue wasting their lives?

        I don’t think this is the case. You’re ignoring the fact that real people are dying and eventually that’s going to be too much for one side to bear. Right now, it looks like that side is going to be Ukraine. I don’t want it to be the case, but reality is reality.

        So, as you said: Since the Russia’s loss is inevitable, why continue wasting their lives?

        Lol. Honestly, I have no idea what could encourage Russians to start and continue this war. They must be seeing entirely different things than us, which I think we could only see if we spoke Russian and hung out in Russian-speaking areas.
