President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he fears Russia’s three-year war on Ukraine could escalate if Ukraine, supported by its allies, does not stand firm against further Russian military advancement.
Zelenskyy sat down with 60 Minutes in his hometown of Kryvyi Rih, a week after a Russian missile killed 19 people, including nine children near a playground.
Zelenskyy said that at this moment in the war, the security of the entire world is at stake.
Been saying it for years now, world war is taking shape right before our eyes. That’s what happens when you elect “strongmen” who just worsen inequality, govern poorly, weaken the status quo, and damage alliances.
This is so true: I often wonder what kind of deriding homophobic nicknames the most enlightened politic leaders of the past would be called if they were acting in politics today.
Nothing new under the sun. Julius Caesar was called “every woman’s man, and every man’s woman”.
I think Ukraine should claim Sakhalin and Murmansk but graciously offer them to Russia in exchange for a cease fire.
/s yeah fuck Putin
“We respect your position,” he said in English, in an invitation directed to Mr. Trump, “but, please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of plans for negotiations, come to see the people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead.”
Hmm. good luck with that. he’s not going to care, because he doesn’t care about anything that doesn’t immediately benefits or impacts him.
Yes it is very real.
Why hasn’t a ceasefire agreed already. all the virtue signalling pro Ukrainian memes “now name two counties which YOU would concede to Russia” are just meant to elicit a guilt trip response. Which personally I detest as it’s just a manipulation tactic. Just give two counties now, stop fighting, or if the fighting doesn’t stop, then you force the aggressor to reveal its cards.
Right?? Just give Putin Crimea, he will stop!
Just one more province, bro. I swear bro, just one more. Bro, it’s the last one, bro. trust me bro.
That’s not the point I am trying to make! Let’s be intransigent and refuse to explore this possibility. What if it escalates to world war? or if it becomes a perennial war for the next 70 years like in Palestine?
That’s exactly what you get when you don’t punch the bully back. Russia broke the well defined post WW2 rule. It was a pretty simple rule too… Don’t try to rob your neighbour’s land.
They should not be rewarded in any way for it. If anything they already have been.
Not only that rule. Also the specific rule that they agreed to which was to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty if they gave up their nukes.
