Ukraine is committed to peace but not at the expense of giving up its territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a sit down with representatives of the Indian media that was published on Aug. 25.

Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the need for Russia's war to end during the latter's historic visit to Kyiv on Aug. 23.

"When you say 'diplomacy', I'm all for it, but I'd like to see concrete steps that are not at the expense of 30% of our state and not at the expense of our population. If there is such a plan, we're all for it," Zelensky said.

Always gotta bring it back to the U.S., huh? Like we can’t understand anything unless it’s measured in acres of Texas or how many Californias we’re talking about. Everything has to be compared to America, like it’s the only place on the planet. Next, we’ll be calculating war casualties in Big Macs per square mile lmao

Lemmy has a significant US based population. Is it really that surprising that someone would use places familiar to them to compare to?

Milwaukee, Minnesota just isnt the same as it used to be

We also have to whine about everything. Great job at keeping your end of the online discourse contract.
