Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Russia is a terrorist country. Terrorists can't be negotiated with. #SlavaUkraini

Russia can't be accepted back into the international community until Putin is in a jail cell or in the ground.

While I'd like to believe this, if Putin comes to some peaceful agreement with Ukraine, the international community will just wait until people are distracted by the next big news story and then let Putin back in.

I'd rather be cynical and happily surprised than optimistic and disappointed.

I mean, by that logic we might as well dump everyone who's started a major land war recently into the ground.

Iraq, Ukraine, Afghanistan... ah fuck, eh?

Slava Ukraini was literally the battle cry of the OUN, which collaborated in the holocaust. Find a different motto.

Foundations of geopolitics? Fuck that, more war. More Ukrainians will die, and that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I genuinely can't tell if you are saying this ironically considering you are all over this thread defending Russia's invasion.
