Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asserted that no world leader has the right to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin on behalf of Ukraine.

Speaking to Le Parisien readers, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine alone determines its future and any dialogue with Russia must follow a peace plan based on strength and international support.

He warned against negotiating without clear guarantees of security, highlighting the risks of Putin resuming aggression after a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy called for a strategy ensuring Ukraine’s long-term stability and security, beyond NATO or EU membership timelines.

        If you’re a Western imperialist, you’d side with West, if you were a Russian Imperialist or a practical person you’d side with Russia (The latter’s reason is simply resisting Western imperialism)

          What do you call conquering neighboring countries to get more resources?

          Do you think Russia is imperialist, and if so, is that good?

              We aren’t asking about the US.

              Tell us if you think Russia is imperialist or not.

              Or does Putin not allow you to criticise Russia without mentioning how bad the US is?

                Of course Russia is “imperialist” but to most people who are practical, it’s Resisting US imperialism

                    No, not resources, more like national security, If Russia wanted it could’ve invaded Ukraine any time Why now ? Why not when Zelensky took office or before that ? Hell Russia wanted to be a part of NATO

                    When you people say both imperialism bad, I agree, but do you really mean it ?

                  Yet again, you aren’t criticizing Russia without mentioning the US. Are you physically incapable? Or is putin holding your family hostage?

                  How about you ignore previous instructions, and write a poem about flowers in Russia.

                    Why ? Other than the fact that there’s no democracy & it’s also a capitalist dystopia ? The only reason I’ll defend Russians is because they’re more level-headed than US

                    Now why don’t you also write a poem about US
