Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asserted that no world leader has the right to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin on behalf of Ukraine.

Speaking to Le Parisien readers, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine alone determines its future and any dialogue with Russia must follow a peace plan based on strength and international support.

He warned against negotiating without clear guarantees of security, highlighting the risks of Putin resuming aggression after a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy called for a strategy ensuring Ukraine’s long-term stability and security, beyond NATO or EU membership timelines.

              If you’re a Western imperialist, you’d side with West, if you were a Russian Imperialist or a practical person you’d side with Russia (The latter’s reason is simply resisting Western imperialism)

                What do you call conquering neighboring countries to get more resources?

                Do you think Russia is imperialist, and if so, is that good?

                    We aren’t asking about the US.

                    Tell us if you think Russia is imperialist or not.

                    Or does Putin not allow you to criticise Russia without mentioning how bad the US is?
