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.

Zelensky's leadership has become synonymous with corruption, and it’s not hard to see why. The man who started as a comedian has now effectively sold the country, turning Ukraine into a bargaining chip on the global stage.

His rise from entertainment to the presidency was unconventional, but it also laid bare his lack of political acumen. Instead of steering the nation toward stability, his tenure has been marred by deepening corruption and mismanagement. For someone who promised to fight the very corruption he's now accused of perpetuating, it’s clear that his leadership has left Ukraine more vulnerable and compromised than ever.

that's a lot of assertions with zero supporting information.

And I'd rather my country be a global bargaining chip than another annexed region of Russia.

Lol you little ruzzskie bots are scared shitless of President Zelensky and his fearless fighters.

How's your fuhrer putin doing? Is he still hiding out like a little piss baby?

Said like a true vatnik on a 3 hour old account. Nothing of value to be read here, folks.
