Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine.

“If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” he said. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership… I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years.”

His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war.

Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.

      Drafting people by force and not allowing any male between 18-60 to leave the country it’s ukranian government decision. Being invaded by someone doesn’t magically turn you into a hero.

          for defending their homes

          Politicians don’t fight their wars. It’s a bunch of poor people like you and me that defend their homes and they don’t need rulers to do it.

            He’s in Ukraine. Organizing running the country and visiting the front lines. Generals are needed in wars to organize things, even when they don’t fight. If Zelenskyy left Ukraine then sure. Also Zelenskyy is not a dictator.
