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.
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.
Earth. I’d say you should visit, but I’d prefer .ml users to remain on planet Gutter Scum Prime.
No one cares what a dishonest war monger like you says.
Looks like a 2020 meeting to negotiate the release of an arrested Israeli spy. No circle jerks to be had here.
Imagine when Bibi realizes Putin is arming Hezbolah.👍
Putin is everything you claim you’re against lmaooo
Sounds like a pretzel:

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!
That 20% already voted on secession a long time ago. They haven’t participated in any elections within Ukraine since 2014, results since having no bearing on them whatsoever.
If Ukrainians can vote in Eurovision singing contests then they can choose their own government.
I imagine the 80%, especially the ones being kidnapped, beaten and shipped to the frontlines by the Zelensky gestapo would like to vote. You’re saying the 20% outweighs the voice of the 80%?
The Banderites have their kapo stooge and won’t let anyone change that. Zelensky will never outlive his usefulness to them.
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.
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
https://busification.org/en
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.
Every accusation is a confession. Russians doing safaris? WTF? Azov Brigade trustmebro bedtime stories.
Democracy is derived from the individual only, not race, not religion, not ethnicity, not arbitrary borders, and not even nations themselves.
Individuals have a right to exist, not nations. Millions of people stopped being “Ukrainian” the moment their democratically elected government was overthrown by a Svoboda led fascist mob.
Sorry, but not sorry.
Your grandchildren’s grandchildren will be paying off generational debt from predatory military and IMF loans. You’re a nation of orphans and widows, neofeudal serfs that are tied to a land they can’t even leave, all now owned by your Blackrock lords.
Annexation would make that disappear overnight.
🫰💨
Loud words that sound eloquent and profound, but in actuality carry no value. A demagogy in other words.
Here’s a video of just the most recent case that i remember (facebook)
In my own city they bombed a theater and a trade center/office building.
Here’s also an online presentation from Human Rights Watch with some videos
True. Nobody here talks about religion or nationality tho. I wouldn’t have batted my eye as Russia captured Ukraine if Russia was a democratic and functioning country. Except it isn’t. How’d I know? Simple, really. I have friends and family in Russia. Little fun fact, when Ukranian drone strikes happen in Russia, there’s no sirens, no beforehand notification, no shelters. That’s just how dysfunctional the Russian government is. Those things were implemented immediately in my country when Russia invaded. That’s the difference. Russian government is an oppressive regime that treats its people as a disposable resource.
I might surprise you, but I’m not the biggest fan of nations either. Problem is, Russia, specifically its current government is nationalist, and was such for a much longer time than Ukraine was. Ukraine’s nationalism is the reaction towards Russia’s.
Excuzes-moi, le fuck? After Maidan, there were elections held, Twice since then. Both the current president of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian parliament were democratically elected. And recently when Trump accused Zelensky of military dictatorship, Zelensky himself proposed for the elections to be held, if Russia will guarantee ceasefire for their duration.
There’d be no children and grandchildren if not for those loans. Also, My country’s military production have advanced and scaled so much since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, that i’m not sure there’d be trouble paying them off honestly.
Except it won’t. Peskov said:
In other words, he says “admit LDNR is ours, and only then we might start to talk about peace”. Except Russian ambition was to take whole territory of the Ukraine. When the invasion started, the tagline in the Russian news was “Киев за три дня” (“Kyiv in three days”). The actual military plan was for blitzkrieging Kyiv in 11 days.
You might as well put the Banderite state seal on this TL;DR word pasta, just like it’s on those Facebook videos.
The entire war effort is a fabrication in the face of reality. It’s about as real as a Marvel Avengers movie.
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.
But it’s not the Banderites’ country. Crimea and the Donbass stopped being Ukraine in 2014. Russia annexed them because Zelensky was powerless to stop the Azov Brigade from shelling civilians in the Donetsk city center. This was after Zelensky campaigned and won on the promise of peace through the Minsk Agreement.
Now he’s just a kapo stooge who will never outlive his usefulness to these Banderites.
If Russia annexed them it doesn’t mean it was legal or legit move. It is against international law, against Minsk agreement and even Putin himself told many times that he doesn’t have problem with Ukraine and its borders. But then again, he said there will be no invasion days before … invasion. Russian invasion and land grab has no legal base, it’s just a nuclear country abusing its power and abusing weakness of the west and US and other western lackeys.
The coup wasn’t legal, but somehow the “international community” doesn’t think a democratic referendum on secession is legal. 🙄👍
Zelensky campaigned and won on the promise of peace through the Minsk Agreement, then watched helplessly as the Azov Brigade shelled civilians in Donetsk.
This is why Russia annexed the Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples Republics.
The United States held elections during the Civil War, so there’s that.
When there were bombers, drones, rockets and missiles, right.
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.
Putin is massively popular in Russia, even by Western polling. You are NOT the global arbitrator for who gets to vote, who “voted wrong”.
America directly arms over 80% of all dictatorships globally. We’re the least democratic nation on Earth for that reason alone.
Democracy to you is just a privilege enjoyed on the backs of the oppressed, a selective cudgel weaponized to steal natural resources.
It was never about democracy.
Democracy to me is when you have fair, free, elections, with candidates that offer different views. This is something the US just about has, and Russia does not.
Voter fraud and the suppression of political opposition prevent a legitimate democratic process.
The fact that you can’t tell the difference between that and a song contest tells all.
Fair and free elections, with candidates that offer different views? Seriously?
All opposition parties have been banned. All opposition media has been seized by the state. Peaceful opposition to the coup was cornered by a Banderite mob in Odessa’s Trade Union Hall. They were burned inside alive. People were shot dead where they lay after jumping from windows. A dead pregnant woman was found raped and set on fire.
I won’t show you pictures of that NSFL. But here’s what happens to duly elected representatives that offered different views, the ones that weren’t murdered.
Edit: Some type of of rate limit error uploading pics. 😂 Google: Ukrainian representatives thrown in dumpster by Banderite mob. 👍
In fact, google lots of stuff. You are in a very small bubble.
When the war is over and Ukraine free, then we can criticise their democratic processes. What excuse does Putin have for banning, arresting, and murdering opposition?
Now your entire family is dead, but I guess you still have your pride. And that’s what’s most important, right?
