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.

Yup. Russia doesn't understand diplomacy. Only force. It's sad that russia acts this way, so, unfortunately, beating them is the only way to have lasting peace.

That or leadership change but I don't think putler fears anything more than losing power and the people are either weak or live in a propaganda bubble.
