Where is the evidence that Zelenskyy wants peace talks and that the US is preventing that? Republicans in particular have been pushing against any aid. Many of them literally consider Russia to be allies. How stalled U.S. aid for Ukraine exemplifies GOP’s softening stance on Russia Republicans Block Aid To Ukraine Zelenskyy himself came to the US to lobby Congress multiple times to beg for aid. America being a superpower isn't proof in and of itself of anything. Plenty of things still happen without the US and even against what the US asks for. You're arguing that countries are having their hand forced by America with no evidence. |
Ukraine and Russia were close to a peace deal in spring 2022 but Ukraine rejected it?

This is one of the favorite lies promoted by Russia and its sympathisers to shift the focus… and blame.
However, a closer look at the facts reveals that the whole story does not hold water. pic.twitter.com/uaWh8pTdIS
What you don't see in this video is Biden is sitting behind Dmytro with his hand up his spine.
It's funny people think Zelenskyy is the type of person to let America control him or anyone else, near the start of the war people were saying Zelenskyy was too abrasive about his allies, he would criticise them a lot for their lack of support, I think recently he has learnt to be a bit more diplomatic but he has often refused to hold his tongue in the past.
But like Zelenskyy said in his 60 minute interview, how can any "peace" with Russia now not result in the restoration of Ukraine's territory?

Ukrainians polled on the issue consistently vote in the majority that they would refuse territory concessions as well and who can blame them? People demanding Ukraine surrender should put themselves in their position, I don't believe for a second that the majority of people in America, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. Would willingly surrender territory if another country invaded them, slaughtered thousands of their people and stole their land, I think those in Western Europe and America would be chomping at the bit for revenge and rightfully so.
But Ukraine should because...America controls them? Or something.
The demands on Ukraine would never apply to America/Western Europe in the same situation, if Scotland was invaded, Brits would be demanding that UK sink every last Russian ship, Lol. Would these same people saying Ukraine should surrender and America should stop supporting them, also be willing to make the same concessions if Russia invaded their country/state, stole their land, raped and murdered their families and then demanded they demilitarise and surrender the territory that Russia has taken?
Fat chance, Americans can't even give up their assault rifles without screaming about their freedoms.
