Zelenskyy on FOX NEWS F&F
by Not A Charm: News
Samuel shared Volodymyr Zelenskyy's appearance on FOX NEWS F&F where he made it clear Ukraine refuses to hand over the Donbas region just to stop fighting. The message sent to Moscow is direct: Russia hasn't secured this land on the battlefield, so demanding Kyiv cede eastern territory in exchange for peace is off the table. Zelensky pointed out that Moscow relies on missile and drone strikes, including Iranian drones and ballistic missiles, to pressure Ukraine into giving up ground they failed to capture themselves. He acknowledged the exhaustion people feel and stated that everyone wants to end this war as quickly as possible, yet emphasized that nobody can abandon their houses or children. Instead of surrendering land, he proposed an immediate ceasefire along existing positions followed by diplomatic talks. These negotiations require firm security guarantees from both the United States and Europe to work. He backed a suggestion from the US President made in spring to start with a ceasefire involving no killings before moving toward a tactical peace plan based on current standing. #Politics

So what the Russians want to do, and I'll give this simple course. They invaded you. They did in 2014, did it again in 22. They invaded you. They want Ukraine. They thought they could take it right away. So they essentially are saying, if the way I understand it, if you give up Donbass, if you give up the Donbass region, this war could end tomorrow. Everything else freezes. They have not earned it on the battlefield. Would you be willing to give it up in negotiations? So, Brian, it's not the first time when they said that they are, I mean, how good, positive and successful operation on the battlefield. It's not true between us in 2026. They didn't have success. They are not winning on the battlefield. That's why they want us to push using any kind of, you know, any kind of pressure on us to push us from our land. It's not fair. AND OF COURSE THEY USE MASSIVE ATTACKS WITH IRANIAN DRAWANS, BALLISTIC MISSILES AND ET CETERA TO MAKE A COAST IN MY COUNTRY. BUT WE STAY STRONG. PEOPLE ARE TIRED, OF COURSE. WE WANT TO END THIS WAR AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. YES, BUT YOU KNOW, NOBODY CAN'T JUST LIVE BY OURSELVES, LIVE OUR COUNTRY, OUR HOUSES. YES, IT'S OUR CHILDREN. SO WE SPEAK ABOUT STAY WHERE WE STAY. LET'S MOVE TO DIPLOMACY. IT'S A GREAT IDEA OF CEAS FIRE. of President of the United States was from the, I think from the very beginning of his storm, it was in spring and he said that let's make peace, let's make ceasefire, no killings. And I supported this. I think we have to start from the point where we stay, move to diplomatic way, and then on the tactical level, we will find a way of peace plan and et cetera.
