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.

    Oh it’s you, idiot and Russia shill.

    Do you wet your panties everytime Putin gets a new yacht, goes through another round of Botox or assassinates another journalist?

      Your comment adds no value and we’re all worse off as a group for reading your ad hominem vitriol. Please go and sit in the corner and think about how useless you have been until you have something constructive to share.

        Here is something constructive: the Russian Mafia state might just collapse soon, giving a window to hundreds of colonized peoples, like Chechens, Dagestanis, Mongols, Tatars, etc, a chance for freedom.

          Russian nationalism is stronger in the rural areas than the urban ones… Odd, don’t you think?

              This entire comment thread pretends like their poop doesn’t stink while telling someone else their poop stinks. American Exceptionalism is a bad thing to defend.

              Not at all, I just think these comments are disingeneous and filled with fallacies. We use the same arguments when we pollute the earth (other countries should lead by example if we should stop polluting), so why does the same not apply to foreign interference? Maybe the USA should remove its 800+ military bases around the world before telling other countries they can’t interfere in another countries sovereignty. Imagine a country saying, USA please leave. Do you think the USA will just say, “OK sure I’ll pull all my troops out tomorrow.”

        It adds plenty. You are shilling for the worst, most russophobic, thieving, murderous, most brutal mafia in the world.

            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.

                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.
