Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has insisted that Ukraine will not concede its territories, regardless of the outcome of the US election or changes in American support. Zelenskyy said that a reduction in backing for Ukraine by a new US president could encourage Russia to try to annex more land and would limit Ukraine’s ability to win its ongoing war. Although Zelenskyy suggested that Donald Trump might want to pressure Ukraine to surrender territory for a deal with Russia, he maintained that that would not be feasible. He added that Ukraine is not interested in Russian territory.

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, vows that Ukraine will not make territorial concessions, regardless of the results of the US elections or the degree of future support from the United States. He expressed concern regarding a potential shift in US policy if Donald Trump wins the presidency and seeks to force Ukraine into surrendering its territory as part of a deal with Russia. Zelenskyy emphasised that Ukraine does not constitutionally have the right to relinquish its legitimate state territories and would not recognise occupied territories as Russian. He also indicated that Ukraine will continue to reclaim its own territories.

Zelenskyy’s decision to reject UN Secretary General António Guterres’ visit to Kyiv after his trip to Russia resonates deeply with the state of international diplomacy today. The timing of Guterres’ potential visit, immediately following his participation in the BRICS conference in Kazan, where he appeared closeted with figures like Putin and Lukashenko, feels particularly tone-deaf. Ukraine is grappling with a war that poses a profound threat to its sovereignty, and here we have the head of an organization that is meant to uphold global peace currying favor with apparent aggressors.
The sentiment that Guterres was not welcome in Ukraine post-Kazan is not merely a matter of diplomatic etiquette, but a sharp rebuke of his actions as Secretary General.… Continue reading
As I watched the news unfold about Trump bragging about his ‘very good relationship’ with Putin while hosting Zelensky, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The blatant hypocrisy and disregard for diplomacy on display were truly staggering. I mean, how can someone be so two-faced, bashing Zelensky one moment and kissing up to Putin the next? It’s like watching a poorly scripted reality show, only this is the real world we’re living in.
Trump’s incessant need to paint himself as a victim, especially in the context of Zelensky’s support during his impeachment, speaks volumes about his character. It’s all about ego and self-preservation for him, at the expense of genuine relationships and global stability.… Continue reading
As I read about the recent meeting between Zelensky and Trump in New York, where they both allegedly agreed that “Putin can’t win” in Ukraine, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, it is encouraging to see leaders coming together to address a pressing issue such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. It signifies a potential step towards finding a resolution and ending the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
However, on the other hand, the skepticism and doubt surrounding Trump’s statements linger in my mind. Given his track record of flip-flopping and saying whatever suits his audience at the moment, it is hard to take his words at face value.… Continue reading
It’s a chilling thought to consider the power that a single individual holds when it comes to nuclear weapons. The recent remarks made by Zelensky about Putin being ‘afraid’ to use nuclear weapons because he ‘loves his life’ bring to light a crucial aspect of international relations and nuclear deterrence. The notion of a nuclear taboo, the fundamental understanding that using nuclear weapons equates to a form of suicidal ideation, is a sobering reminder of the stakes involved in such decisions.
Putin’s reluctance to use nuclear weapons is not necessarily rooted in a concern for the well-being of his people or the global population at large, but rather in his own self-preservation.… Continue reading
As a concerned citizen following the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the recent statement by Zelenskyy’s spokesman regarding the notification process for potential long-range strikes on Russia has sparked a wave of reactions and emotions. The notion that Russians will be the first to know if Ukraine gets permission for such strikes certainly raises eyebrows and stirs anticipation for what may lie ahead in this tumultuous geopolitical landscape.
The idea that Russia will be informed before any official announcement is made regarding these military actions sheds light on the delicate dance of diplomacy and warfare that is currently playing out on the world stage.… Continue reading
War with Russia closer to end than many think – Zelenskyy
In recent weeks, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has been vocal about his belief that the war with Russia is closer to an end than many people may think. This bold statement has sparked various reactions and discussions, with some questioning the timing of his remarks, especially in light of the upcoming US elections and the potential impact on Ukraine’s assistance depending on the outcome.
As a keen observer of the situation, it is intriguing to ponder the factors that may have influenced Zelenskyy’s optimistic stance. The idea that Russia is nearing collapse and that Ukraine could potentially achieve victory in the conflict is an appealing narrative.… Continue reading
When it comes to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the stakes couldn’t be higher. President Zelensky’s recent comments labeling JD Vance as “too radical” and emphasizing that the war should not end at Ukraine’s expense resonates deeply with me. Vance’s blatant disregard for Ukraine’s sovereignty and his unwillingness to engage with a friendly nation in need of support is concerning, to say the least.
The leaked text messages between Vance and far-right conspiracy theorist Charles Johnson, where Vance expressed his indifference towards taking calls from Ukraine, further highlight his troubling stance on the situation. It’s alarming to think that someone aiming for a position of power would show such a lack of empathy and commitment to a country under siege.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, one thing stands out – the resilience and determination of President Zelenskyy. He is not only a skilled diplomat but also a fearless soldier who stood his ground when his country needed him the most. The fact that he has remained in Ukraine, fighting tooth and nail for his people, speaks volumes about his character and commitment to his nation.
The recent statements by Zelenskyy about the war potentially being closer to the end than many believe are indeed intriguing. Could it be that Ukraine is on the brink of a decisive victory against Russia?… Continue reading
