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.

    Quite dishonest to equate “not wanting Ukraine invaded by Russia” with being pro NATO.

    Quite dishonest to equate “criticizing Zelensky and this US proxy war” with being tankie or russian terrorist.

    That’s crazy, the level of accusatory reversal.

      You might have mixed up something. Neither I or anybody on this direct thread said anything about terrorism or tankies. We didn’t even mention zelensky.

      Either you’re the crazy one or you have been called those this enough time as to lose track.

      BTW, it couldn’t be a pretty war if, you know, Russia didn’t start a war… small detail I know

          You are the first one on this come thread. Other threads sure talk about that. But not this one. So yeah… double down in your mistakes, the Putin’s way.

            take it. You just demonstrated your dishonesty here. There’s like at least, 10 occurences of this word in this thread.

              Let’s see. We have OP, then Veraticus, AnonymouseJoker, me and then you complaining.

              Who said those things in that thread? You mean somebody else I’m a different thread of the same post said so? So what? What does that have to do with me then? Why I’m dishonest because somebody else I haven’t even interacted with said something your dislike? Can I throw at you that some people are happy of the dead civilians? Those who want Russia to continue and take over all Europe? Can you grasp how silly that would be, and why it’s stupid if you do it?

          As a clarification, since searching the page will give you the wrong idea, direct thread is referring to this direct chain of comments, not the whole post.
