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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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?
