After a bitter rift with Donald Trump left many in Ukraine fearing that the US president had swung behind Russia again, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the dispute head on: there’s nothing personal between me and Trump, he told CNN, but cozying up to Vladimir Putin would only “make him stronger.”
Ties between the US and Ukraine have badly deteriorated in recent weeks.
Zelensky said Trump was “on the wrong side of history” after he announced a deal to buy Russian fuel, upending international efforts to isolate Russia. Trump then waived some sanctions against Russia, drawing criticism even from his own party. Ukraine’s forces found their access to the Elon Musk-run Starlink service restricted.
Speaking to CNN from Kyiv on Thursday, Zelensky took a conciliatory tone, saying the tensions were “not about personalities” – but warned that Putin had no intention of stopping the war.
Trump hates Zelensky for not helping him cheat in the election with biden. He carries grudges to the grave and is one of the most vindictive narcissists I’ve ever seen.
He shouldn’t have been allowed within a million miles of any Ukraine policy decision. Congress should have stepped in and cut him completely out of the picture. He was impeached for what he did with Ukraine already!
A complete abdication of governing on the part of Congress.
Because governing America means sending missiles to Nazis.
You sound like John Bolton.
What are you talking about? You are aware that Trump was impeached by Congress for his scheme to get Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Biden.
That is what I am talking about. The fact that Trump should not be making policy decisions about Ukraine after being impeached for corruption related to Ukraine.
Please tell me you are not one of the pro Russian big bad NATO and Ukraine Nazis forced poor Russia to attack low effort propaganda losers. Because if you are we can just stop talking now.
.ml instance username means that is exactly who they are. For future reference.
Ever the diplomat. I’m sure he’d like to put Trump in the Hague right next to Putin. Assuming they survive that far.
That’s every President of the modern age, and all worse than Putin by far. Obama alone has killed hundreds of thousands more civilians than Putin.
Just because America bad, doesn’t mean their enemies are good guys.
Oh there’s most certainly something personal between them. He’s just too much of a gentleman to say so, unlike our narcissistic nit-wit.
Of course not. For something personal, two people need to be involved with personality.
Awe, now him and Trump can be friends again and he can cater, praise, kowtow to him like before. Did he also say how much he misses his dear friend Lindsay Graham?
Dude has his entire country on the line. Wtf are you saying? If you had to save your entire family, you would shower praising words on your blackmailer too.
The Ukraine War has had the lost civilian death rate than any major conflict in modern history. It’s the men that are being genocides by their own government.
No I wouldn’t. Zelensky has continually legitimized fascists like Trump to fight a proxy war for a neocon colonialist empire by kidnapping and beating his own citizens. Everyday the mass busification videos are shown and people claiming to care about Ukrainians downplay them with comments like this gem from a video today:
“It should be treachery and punishable by death if your not willing to go defend…”
He refuses to even hold elections to make his own people’s voices heard.
None of this would be happening if not for Russia.
Russia made them Nazis? Bruh.
Ah, I see you’ve taken up the talking points of Netanyahu. “None of this would be happening if not for Hamas.”
Putin and Netanyahu are similarly guilty of attempting genocide.
What planet do you live on? The civilian death toll is as inversely opposite as you can get.
Russia is arming Hezbolah. 👍
Epstein Class propaganda broke your brain.
No one cares what a dishonest war monger like you says.
A wild “supporting Ukraine is zionism” person! A real, organic position held widely by many informed voters!
Bit off topic, but there was a house around the corner with both an Israeli and Ukraine flag. The Israeli flag has since come down.
They’re both fascist ethnostate proxies of Western imperialism. Fact.
Fascist love fascists, even when the latter’s goal is extermination of the prior.
You can support Ukraine, without supporting busification of its citizens or Zelensky being a dictator.
How do you propose the Ukrainian government delivers ballots, administrates polling stations, and then securely processes ballots in the 20% of their country they don’t control, while preventing coercion from the occupying force skewing results?
Are fair elections possible when you can’t get results from 20% of the country?
But I know you’re not coming at this in good faith so I’m just gonna mute this thread. Godspeed yandex user!
He
refusesis legally unable to hold elections while 20% of his country is under Russian occupation.Not just legally, also practically. You can’t hold elections while being bombed.
The United States held elections during the Civil War, so there’s that.
When there were bombers, drones, rockets and missiles, right.
Whose being bombed? This isn’t Gaza. It’s had the lowest civilian death rate than any major conflict in modern history.
The people dying are forced conscripts being kidnapped ICE style
Ignoring that Ukraine’s cities are bombed by drone swarms and missiles every day, why are the conscripts dying? Because Russia is invading their country.
There are civilian casualties from Russian bombing almost every day. Today I heard explosions twice where I live.
Busification? Yes, it is an issue. You know what’s also an issue? A blood-thirsty dictator, who just won’t let go of his ambitions.
Ukraine specifically asked, that in case we’d surrender districts (none of which Russia fully controls to this day btw), surrender the fortress belt, there’d be guarantees for peace. Guess who doesn’t want to agree to those terms. Guess who doesn’t agree to a moratorium on civilian infrastructure strikes. Guess which side of this conflict practices human safari in Kherson. Guess which country demonized their neighbor since 2003. Guess which country expressed the sentiment that their neighbouring country shouldn’t exist.
What you’re doing is that you’re shifting the blame from the aggressor and the initiator. There was no busification before 2022. Why? Take a wild fucking guess.
Bullshit. That was only inserted illegally after the Svoboda led coup.
They can vote in Eurovision singing contests but can’t choose their own government.
I know in Russia elections don’t mean much, but in democracies there is a difference between electing a government and voting in Eurovision.
Now your entire family is dead, but I guess you still have your pride. And that’s what’s most important, right?
Graham was a lot of things, but he was a consistent ally to Ukraine.
Rest In Piss
Yeah that’s fine he was a hypocrite idgaf about him at the end of the day
