Zelensky willing to cede territory to Russia in exchange for NATO protection
Quote:Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is willing to hand over territory to Russia in exchange for NATO protection if it means ending the war.
“If we want to stop the hot stage of the war, we should take under [the] NATO umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control,” Zelensky said through a translator in an interview with Sky News Friday.
“That’s what we need to do fast, and then Ukraine can get back the other part of its territory diplomatically.”
Zelensky’s comments are a stark departure from his previous stance — he vowed to continue fighting until Ukraine was returned to its internationally recognized borders, including Crimea.

RE: Zelensky willing to cede territory to Russia in exchange for NATO protection
And there you have it. How long has this lasted and how much of our money and resources has this f-ing weasel extracted from us?
Now he wants to give Russia what they really wanted in the first place. Fk him.
He will will evaporate into the wind with suitcases of US dollars by his side.

It was always going to be land for security. Its the only possible deal. If Ukraine balks, the US aid stops. If Putin balks, the US aid goes into overdrive...plus ending sanctions is slowly becoming a bigger need for the Russians. I really think Trump can get a deal done. He's done a very good job of not poisoning the negotiating environment.

The art of the deal. Identify the points of genuine compromise, remove the barriers, allow opponents to save face.
This entire war in Ukraine is a core element of the Obama/Biden legacy. Without them, the war quite simply never happens. With them, the war was inevitable.

RE: Zelensky willing to cede territory to Russia in exchange for NATO protection
Russia can outspend the US on the SMO. Then what will Trump do?
Russia has a long, long, long runway before anything would prevent them from continuing.
The US has a runway as long as the list of foreign countries who buy are our increasingly shaky looking debt.
Russians lived thru the bad times of the 1990’s when thr US was “helping” their economy. (Notice if the US is “helping” them or punishing them, it’s the same result? Well, they notice) This is nothing for them because they a whole lot less spoiled and pampered than Americans. Then again, who isn’t?
The American public goes into a frenzy over everything and demands instant resolution, no matter how much our masters need to borrow to get it fixed.
Russia doesn’t need to borrow. The ruble exchange rate now is better than it was in March of 2022. Talk that anything is collapsing is as real as us declaring we collapsed their economy several years ago.
The same dumb people keep taking the bait and believing it too.
In other words, Russia funds itself. We run on borrowed money. If we didn’t have trillions of debt propping up our economy now, we would completely shut down and we all know it.

“We. Our. Us.” F off Ivan. You ain’t one of us.
We collapsed your grand USSR and we will collapse what’s left of your ‘empire’ if you piss us off enough.

Yawn. Russian Central Bank with bleak economic projection for Russian economy. IMF concurs. Ruble in free fall. Russian stock market down almost 40% since 2022. Inflation at 8%. Interest rates at 21%. The crashing ruble likely to push up Russian inflation rate. lol---but sanctions had no effect....everything is super duper awesome.
