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.

    That’s not what I’m saying and I don’t agree with you.

    Ukraine could still refuse outside assistance and “maintain its sovereignty” until Russia achieves victory.

    Ukraine “losing its sovereignty” would mean they couldn’t even do that.

      You are saying that exactly. You are saying “Ukraine doesn’t get to make decisions about itself and the US gets to dictate a peace deal to them because they gave them some aid”.

        No, that’s not what I’m saying.

        You need to improve your reading comprehension before I can continue this conversation further.

        Sorry, gonna ignore you now. Good luck.

          “No world leader has a right to negotiate about Ukraine” “I disagree, they got aid, therefore aid giver can negotiate about Ukraine”.

          This is exactly what you are saying, so stop gaslighting.
