What a guy. He shot to the top of my rankings that day three years ago when he said he needed ammo, not a ride. And unlike cowardly little shitbox hiding in his kremlin he’s not afraid of visiting the soldiers on the front line.
If only all politicians put their country ahead of themselves like Zelensky does. What an amazing planet this could be.
Saddest shit ever.
Hats off to one of the few remaining real politicians who put the country over their own person.
On the other hand, if they would hold a vote for a new president after that, he surely would get the job again.
Russia will prevent ukraine nato entry
sadly he just doesn’t get it.
Get what? I think he’s a great negotiator.
the red line that Russia saw crossed when it escalated the conflict (that the president had promised to pacify before his election with no negotiational success) into full-fledged war.
He gets it. He’s negotiating. He never intends to join Nato. I thought that was very obvious.
not obvious yet to me, but you’re correct. i remember an Ukrainian colleague was very upset at the beginning of the war that they have a clown as president.
Very nice and clever response to the shitheads expecting meat-headed claims of “Zelensky dictator, no election, Russia rescue” to hold any water.
I think the rest of NATO should eagerly take him up on his offer… sans the resignation. Because Ukraine needs Zelenskyy at this point.
That alone would enrage Putin and his KGB puppet currently sitting in the Oval Office.
And then the rest of NATO can go completely weapons-free at Russia and Belarus.
That’s not very dictator-like. I’m starting to wonder if Donald Trump misjudged him…
As with everything Maga it was projection
Trump is incapable of comprehending this level of selflessness
Zelensky isn’t facing down prison and treason sentences on their way out. But he would have to avoid Russian tea service in his retirement.
Ol Drumpy? Misjudge someone‽ Nah, that’s just the WoKe meDiA lying to you!!!/s
bargaining with less than no leverage… smart move
This is not bargaining… It’s simply proving he isn’t a dictator
