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.
As a Ukrainian, respectfully fuck the entire idea of presidency for life. That’s how you get putin.
Zelenskyy is doing a great job holding our shit together, but make no mistakes, if there was no war, he would have very likely not been a president for almost a year now.
