Finally.

Anyone who has been paying even the slightest bit of attention to not only current events, but history too, will know without a shadow of a doubt that there is no negotiating with dictators.

The fact that despite that, world leaders are almost unanimously saying Zelenskyy should anyway, is them telling on themselves that they A. see Putin as a fellow leader who deserves respect and consideration, and B. that the people actually suffering are just acceptable collateral damage who deserve no such consideration, and that they don't actually care about Ukraine (or Gaza, or Sudan, or anywhere else) or ending war, but only about appearances and maintaining power and the status quo (which very much includes war mongering for profit).

Which means those who need to hear her most, won't. But at least she has the guts to say it.
