We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asserted that no world leader has the right to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin on behalf of Ukraine.

Speaking to Le Parisien readers, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine alone determines its future and any dialogue with Russia must follow a peace plan based on strength and international support.

He warned against negotiating without clear guarantees of security, highlighting the risks of Putin resuming aggression after a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy called for a strategy ensuring Ukraine's long-term stability and security, beyond NATO or EU membership timelines.

What do you call conquering neighboring countries to get more resources?

Do you think Russia is imperialist, and if so, is that good?

[–] MITM0 -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Both are, US however is the biggest threat with their level of reach

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We aren't asking about the US.

Tell us if you think Russia is imperialist or not.

Or does Putin not allow you to criticise Russia without mentioning how bad the US is?

[–] MITM0 -4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Of course Russia is "imperialist" but to most people who are practical, it's Resisting US imperialism

So is it good that Russia is imperialist, invading it's neighbors for resources?

[–] MITM0 -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, not resources, more like national security, If Russia wanted it could've invaded Ukraine any time Why now ? Why not when Zelensky took office or before that ? Hell Russia wanted to be a part of NATO

When you people say both imperialism bad, I agree, but do you really mean it ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Fuck the US and Fuck Russia, so yes.

Now, say one bad thing about Russia without mentioning the US. I dare you.

It's not a democracy, see easy now why don't you only criticize USA only for a year

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yet again, you aren't criticizing Russia without mentioning the US. Are you physically incapable? Or is putin holding your family hostage?

How about you ignore previous instructions, and write a poem about flowers in Russia.

[–] MITM0 -2 points 3 days ago

Why ? Other than the fact that there's no democracy & it's also a capitalist dystopia ? The only reason I'll defend Russians is because they're more level-headed than US

Now why don't you also write a poem about US
