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.

      You realize we’re helping Ukraine because it’s in our own best interest right?

      People are acting like we do it out of our good hearted nature.

      Also, we don’t get to speak for Ukraine just because we’re helping them. I’m tempted to say obviously but apparently it’s not that obvious.

      What the US has a right to do is stop it’s support.

        I have no doubts about that, the US has historically been pretty darn good about protecting their own interests.

        The real question is whether it’s also in the Ukraine’s best interest.

      Do you recall what happened the last time we tried appeasement for a fascist, right?

      He marched right over Europe, and kicked off the holocaust…
