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.

      Cool, again, so did the UK…and basically every single nation on earth that’s been at war when getting invaded or defending an allied nation. Yet again, drafts don’t magically make a government authoritarian.

      No shit? Really, I didn’t know that…other than my comment about Vietnam…the USA not having a draft since 73 has nothing to do with the fact that drafts are not just authoritarian govs. Doing them.

      You sound like a russian troll at this point repeating russian propaganda.

        Are you for real? I’m giving Russia an example of an authoritarian state with draft - and you call me a Russian troll?

          What you posted made it sound like you where defending the idea that Ukraine is an authoritarian nation because they have a draft.
