Zelenskyy says he’s willing to give up presidency for peace in Ukraine or NATO membership

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine.

"If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready," he said. "Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership... I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years."

His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war.

Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.

  • Gegen Zelensky Politik zu sein, macht mich nicht zu einem Pro-Putin-Anhänger. Ich hasse beides

    • Oh cool, since you hate both, you obviously oppose the one who's invading and performing genocide? Or is critical support only for orgs like Hamas?

      "Being against Poland in the active, ongoing war of aggression and extermination does not make me pro-Nazi!"

      lmao

      • Die amerikanische Propaganda hat deinen Verstand korrumpiert

        • "American propaganda has corrupted you into thinking principles should be consistent"

          That's a new one. You keep bootlicking Nazis, though. You wouldn't want to be 'for' the invaded, no matter how bad the invaders are!

          • Bin ich ein Nazi, nur weil ich Deutsch spreche? Ich denke, Sie haben zu wenig Informationen, um auf so etwas zu schließen

            • Am I a Nazi just because I speak German?

              Oh, so you didn't read what I said. Unsurprising, lmao
