“Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier,” Zelenskyy said in a Telegram message early Saturday.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy defiantly declared Saturday that his countrymen “will not give their land to occupiers,” after Donald Trump suggested that a peace deal would include some “swapping” of territories with Russia.

“The answer to Ukraine’s territorial question is already in the constitution of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said in a message on Telegram early Saturday. “No one will and no one can deviate from it. Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.”

His comments came after Trump announced on Truth Social that a long-awaited meeting with Vladimir Putin had been scheduled for next Friday in Alaska.

    I am not saying it is worth it. I am saying they have to make it seem worth it.

      Thug came to your house, punched you in your face and raped your wife. You definitely should give him one room so it seems for him it was worth punching and raping.

        You are not understanding what I am saying. I am saying that Putin needs to explain to his country why the war is stopped and what was the benefit of it. Zelensky needs to show the same thing.

        I am not talking about what they do about territories.

            Npdean is not saying this is what SHOULD happen, they are staying that’s Putin’s perspective.

            It’s not an endorsement of Russia. It’s just an opinion on what Putin will or will not accept in any deal put before him

            (At least that’s how I’m reading this exchange)

            Npdean, do you personally agree that Russia SHOULD fuck off back home immediately. That Ukraine not be made to give up a single bloody thing at all. And that this entire war is entirely Russia’s fault and they bear all responsibility for this happening?

            I’m asking because I’m assuming you would agree, but I obviously can’t know that without you saying it

              No, just read the guy commenting history, there is more.

              Quite a few Russian new accounts have been set up recently.
