Is Zelensky softening his tone on territorial concessions?

[BlackWizard91]

Since the February 2022 Russian invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised that his country would prevail in the ensuing war, and that victory would include not only the reclamation of its territory up to the prewar borders, but also all of its territory up to the 2014 borders, including the Donbas and Crimea.

As recently as October 2024, Zelensky continued to insist that Ukraine would not cede any of its territory to Russia. But, as Russian troops break through heavily fortified Ukrainian defenses on their increasingly rapid march west, the crumbling Ukrainian lines may be causing a new reality to dawn in Kyiv.

On November 21, Zelensky was asked by Fox News if he had “accepted that under any sort of cease-fire agreement or peace deal that some Ukrainian territory may remain in Russian hands?" He said: “We cannot legally acknowledge any occupied territory of Ukraine as Russian. That is about those territories … seized by Putin before the full-scale invasion, since 2014. Legally, we are not acknowledging that, we are not adopting that.” But Zelensky finally realized that he would not be able to regain these territories by force.

In response to the question “willing to give up Crimea in pursuit of a peace deal to end this war,” Zelensky replied, "we are ready to bring Crimea back diplomatically.” This is a clear change from his earlier position. Zelensky now seems to accept the improbability of recapturing Crimea militarily.

Firstly , Zelenskyy is a CIA puppet and Ukraine is a CIA Colony and has been since February 2014 when the Obama-Biden Administration deposed Ukraine's duly elected President Viktor Yanukovych - so Zelenskyy's position is whatever his CIA handler decides it will be

Under the USSR System Ukraine and Crimea were Republics . Ukraine was allowed to declare its independence . Crimea must also be able to declare its independence

In 1954 Nikita Kruschev gave Ukraine ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL of New Russia which was the name given to the region East of the Dnipro River

Warmongers neocrazies Senators Lindsey Graham , Mitch McConnell , Pierre Delecto and 19 other Senators are going to oppose ANY Trump nominated Secretary of Defense who wants to cease the unnecessary proxy war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian law forbids negotiations with Russia, I think. Besides, making a deal between those two isn't so simple.

Zelensky is smart enough to figure out that the party is over.

Tw

Zelensky is smart enough to figure out that the party is over.

2 years ago he told the illegitimate demented woke SOB BuyTHem that he did not want to fight Russia - the CIA told him to shut the fuck up that they were going to use his country as a ram against Moscow whether he liked it or not.

Zelensky is smart enough to figure out that the party is over.

What he figures has so far been wrong consistently -- a non military Midget trying to make military decisions .A sort of Horsey Horse or De CrappyitUS. Trolls who are never right . Or, are always wrong . !!

When he is dismissedf it will be done by Sir Richard Moore who as head of MI6 is the midget's handler .
Doubtless this will be done with Five Eyes discussion but principally a decision made by the UK and the US .

Their main problem is the lack of sound choice for a follow -up Puppet.
Zaluzhnyi possibly. He is Ambassador for Ukraine in London and was the actual brains behind the Midget when he was , until recently, leading the UAF
Apparently sacked by the Midget but the truth looks obvious given his present position .
