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.
Pro-Russian source TASS ( https://tass.com/world/1289095) from 2021 citing Ukrainian Foreign Minister’s statement:
Pro-Ukrainian source detailing the death count, with an ample amount of Russia bashing. https://bitterwinter.org/donbass-did-ukraine-kill-14000-pro-russians/
The genocide part is labelled upon the deaths that happened due to Ukraine’s aggression against Donbass residents and the constant border conflicts. Part of the genocide is cultural as well, with the ban on Russian language, among other elements.
Admittedly I do need to do more reading. Thank you for the links.
