Zelenskyy rebuffs Trump’s proposal for rapid peace deal in Ukraine war
www.politico.eu
“It doesn’t mean that it will happen this way,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in Budapest.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a rapid peace deal with Russia, arguing it would lead to a “loss” for Ukraine.

Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he could resolve the war in 24 hours, aims for a quick end, but Zelenskyy insists that a rushed settlement would compromise Ukraine’s independence.

Speaking in Budapest, Zelenskyy also rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s call for a cease-fire, citing failed attempts in 2014.

Additionally, he warned of North Korean troop involvement in Ukraine if Western allies don’t increase political pressure on Pyongyang.

      Huh, that’s weird, .ml is strangely quiet in this thread, you’d think they would have something to say, considering how much they screamed the last 3 months.

        I saw the thread about the complaints of voter fraud suddenly stopped. Same here. The calls to end the war have all but disappeared.

        Oh they’ll be in here. Their current narrative is that this is all Harris’ fault and also it wouldn’t matter if they all voted for Harris because she still wouldn’t have won.

        One of them told me it wouldn’t have mattered if they had all voted for Harris multiple times.

        Somehow if they had all voted for Harris 300,000,000,000 times, Trump would still have won.

          “Why dont the democrats focus on left causes? We won’t for them until they do!”

          “So you demand everybody base their policy on an historically very unreliable voting bloc at the expense of all other voters?”

          “Obviously!!!”

        The actual creator of Lemmy who I believe is a .ml admin as well, banned me from lemmy.ml because I dared to say that now you have fascism in America because people didn’t go out to vote just to protest
