"If they do not have the will to implement a simple order to stop the attacks, it may take a great deal of effort to get Russia to implement something much more significant, namely peaceful coexistence with its neighbors for decades to come."

Zelensky is extremely patient with Trump, way more than Trump deserves. But he is doing it for his people.
Because he wants to keep the door open if USA should decide to help Ukraine with or without Trump.

And he has made a little bit of progress, at least NATO partners are now allowed to buy weapons for Ukraine. Which Trump initially blocked.

The Kremlin has rejected these demands at every turn, insisting that Ukraine first make extreme concessions — such as the dissolution of its army and the refusal to accept foreign military aid.

So… Ukraine has to leave itself utterly defenseless before Putin will even consider a ceasefire? Not just standing down, but dissolving the army? I assumed it would be bad, but this isn’t even worth Zelensky’s time. A demand this extreme can’t even be considered a negotiation tactic. It’s the diplomatic equivalent of the middle finger.

All this “peace talk” nonsense is just a distraction.

And this is after they violated multiple treaties with Ukraine when Russia did the same shit before. It's a fucking joke.

Man, I really feel sorry for this guy. He’s in an impossible situation and doing the best he can, and the most powerful person in the world, who has the power to make this all stop, is sucking his enemies balls.

But in dark times the stars should not also go out. There will always be hope so long as there are brave people to stand in the way of tyranny. Fortunately for me I'm not brave
