Zelenskyy says he’s willing to give up presidency for peace in Ukraine or NATO membership
Zelenskyy offered a major concession amid escalating tensions and false claims from Trump over the origin of the war.
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.
Honestly he’s gotta be pretty fucking tired by now. I’d want to retire after leading a country through war for 3 years.
Going from comedian to wartime leader is quite a jump.
lol now, US president Krasnov Trump can't say President Zelensky is a dictator.
The actions of a man who loves his country and not power? Politicians in the US (on both sides) could never comprehend this.
Would his resignation prevent future attempts at running for president?
surely they'd preclude him getting voted back in...
Trump suggested that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, initiating the current land war.
I’d like it if more summaries of what conservatives say/believe were followed by sentences which began with “In reality…”
The only issue is that conservatives don't read so they'll never see it anyway.
Then it would be an inside joke for us!
Who the fuck would actually want his job? Besides some Russian cunt?
It's a hypothetical scenario anyways because Ukraine being a NATO member would mean NATO boots on ground in Ukraine, which the US (and in fairness a lot of other NATO countries, but for different reasons) want to avoid. But it calls the bluff on the unfounded dictator accusations that Russia and some puppets peddle.
plenty, like the Banderite Zalushni who is way more popular.
But OC most opposition parties are forbidden, opponents put in jail and there are no elections.
he has nothing to give up or offer.
he will not participate in what is decided on ex ukraine.Bla bla bla dumbass
Does this guy think he has all this importance? It is just a cannonball for the interests of the EU and the American Empire
He will be discarded in the dustbin of history for having sacrificed his people in a conflict that could never have been won by Ukraine, all for money and self-pride
How do Putins balls and shit taste?

You fascists never change, do you? Always fast to get on your knees and bootlick genocide and imperialism.
you’re the kind of person to roll over and let another country destroy everything you claim to stand for.
you would die on your knees without a peep.
And you're the kind of person that doesn't reason with his own head but feed on whatever government and media says. The same governments backing ukraine are backing israel in a genocide, they don't give a shit about ukrainian people the same way they don't care about children dying in gaza. Politicians only care about wealth and power, they don't fight their own wars. The war in ukraine is being fought by poor people slaughtering each others over invisible lines on a map.
Yeah, you really got this wrong. Ukraine is a proxy for the war spilling into the rest of Europe. Russia has also annexed parts of Georgia in addition to Ukraine, and Putin has expressed the desire to reunite the old empire boundaries, not even USSR, the Russian empire from way back.
Nice job... Bye.
You're 100% right.
OC not appreciated by the regime fanboys
TBF he got elected on the promise of ending the war (most of them here downvoting you have never heard of before) in the east they started against the ethnic Russians who wanted independence from the US installedcoup regime.
And he did try, OC the fanatic Azov fascists wouldn't hear of it and laughed in his face (on video).
It was more easy since the Russians hadn't stepped in yet.
NATO aint what it used to be. I suggest a new startup instead.
Edit: Lol, people downvoting me when one of the founding members is threatening to invade other members. Idiots.
Even if the USA were to leave NATO or refuse to participate, there still isn't a better security guarantee than the remaining block being obligated to engage militarily in your defense, and the block still contains nuclear powers.
It's a bit confusing, since nato was always the US protection racket for its vasals who had to buy their crap to assist them every few years when the great policeman of the world decided some poor country needed to be bombed into democracy.
Now the master, impotent on the world stage is cannibalising its own.As the demon Kissinger said: it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.
