Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia must withdraw to its pre-invasion positions from February 24, 2022.

In an interview with Newsmax, he hoped that Donald Trump, with European backing, could end the war and influence Putin.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine will not accept any negotiated settlement that excludes its involvement.

He also suggested that Trump needs a diplomatic success to differentiate his approach from Biden’s. However, there is no indication that Russia is willing to retreat.

      I think the circumstances are different. The US didn’t rape and pillage at the scale of Russia. And when something criminal was discovered, the rapists didn’t receive medals on TV. And the Vietnamese haven’t voted for an openly Pro-US government, to the extent of their voting ability.

          Happy to be proven wrong, but I’m afraid ad hominem is all you got.
