Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Oh it's you, idiot and Russia shill.

Do you wet your panties everytime Putin gets a new yacht, goes through another round of Botox or assassinates another journalist?

Your comment adds no value and we're all worse off as a group for reading your ad hominem vitriol. Please go and sit in the corner and think about how useless you have been until you have something constructive to share.

Here is something constructive: the Russian Mafia state might just collapse soon, giving a window to hundreds of colonized peoples, like Chechens, Dagestanis, Mongols, Tatars, etc, a chance for freedom.

Russian nationalism is stronger in the rural areas than the urban ones... Odd, don't you think?

All the colonized Native American tribes first..

Hey did anybody else consider the relevance of what happened in America? Have you guys heard? About America? America. What about America. No forget Russia, we're taking about America right now! America...

This entire comment thread pretends like their poop doesn't stink while telling someone else their poop stinks. American Exceptionalism is a bad thing to defend.

Hey, guys what about America!? Did anybody hear about America? AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Preach it brother, there's not enough people on Lemmy talking about US war crimes and foreign meddling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? Every time somebody mentions something bad about Russia or the CCP, we should remind those yanks about how bad America is! Every time! Because we care about justice and peace soooooooo much. Hey guys.... MURCA BAD

Guys, I also heard that Germany did some bad stuff. Maybe we should bring that up too?

[–] tomatopathe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oooh so now you go from "Russia is the bestest, Ukraine nazis" to "whuddabout" as you run out of anything constructive to say.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Not at all, I just think these comments are disingeneous and filled with fallacies. We use the same arguments when we pollute the earth (other countries should lead by example if we should stop polluting), so why does the same not apply to foreign interference? Maybe the USA should remove its 800+ military bases around the world before telling other countries they can't interfere in another countries sovereignty. Imagine a country saying, USA please leave. Do you think the USA will just say, "OK sure I'll pull all my troops out tomorrow."

It adds plenty. You are shilling for the worst, most russophobic, thieving, murderous, most brutal mafia in the world.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I am not shilling for the CIA thank you.

[–] tomatopathe -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oooh, what a great comeback.

In the meantime 1/4 of Russians shit in a hole in the ground for lack of plumbing while their children die in Ukraine with shit equipment so that Putin and his Mafia can collect mansions, private jets and yachts.

If the CIA really wanted to kill Russians they couldn't have done it better.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's pretty clear the CIA wants dead Ukranians, 60,000 this summer ☹️

[–] tomatopathe -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nobody is forcing Ukraine to fight. > 90% want their country back, based on latest polls.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't this coming from the same country that literally cancelled elections and started hunting down and imprisoning opposition political parties?

[–] tomatopathe -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they held elections Russia would bomb the polling sites.

It's dangerous and costly, and r/n Ukraine is under martial law for good reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, but that doesn't mean you should start prosecuting your opposition.

[–] tomatopathe -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If the opposition supports the enemy, you perhaps should.

Edit: you asshats think Russia should allow pro-Ukraine parties to run for the Duma, or the presidency? Or is it always a double standard with you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Want their country back != will fight to the death for it. Also share the poll please I can't find anything recent.
