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.

    Yeah, you really got this wrong. Ukraine is a proxy for the war spilling into the rest of Europe. Russia has also annexed parts of Georgia in addition to Ukraine, and Putin has expressed the desire to reunite the old empire boundaries, not even USSR, the Russian empire from way back.

      It is FACT, aknowledged by the OPCW that it was Georgia who started the war and killed Russian peace keeping troops.
      So you’re lying.
      As always it is NATO expansion and meddling that caused both conflicts.

        Are you for really saying Russia marching 100,000 troops onto the border of Ukraine and then invading is somehow Ukraines fault?

        Also, the annexation of parts of Georgia by Russia is Georgia’s fault? How exactly do you come to these conclusions, they are so backwards it’s insane.
