No one who doesn’t want to be annexed by Russia has been annexed by Russia. There have been a sum total of zero (0) partisan attacks by citizens of the former Ukrainian provinces on Russian forces.
Ukrainians are fighting to conquer land occupied by people who do not want to be ruled by them. And some of their politicians have admitted this, saying that if they take the territories back, they will have to force out the Russian-speaking population.
Nothing has been “conquered” by Russia, because no one was forced under the rule of someone they didn’t want to be ruled by. That is what these Jews and their “Ukrainians” are trying to do.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a July 21 interview that President Volodymyr Zelensky will likely need to hold a public referendum before agreeing to any territorial compromises with Russia.
The statement follows a proposal by former U.S. President Donald Trump for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. As Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 presidential election becomes more likely, efforts are underway to sway him to Ukraine’s side and ensure that any potential deal is favorable to Kyiv.
Any deal would be favorable.
“The next few months will be very difficult for Volodymyr Zelensky. Should he continue the war with new deaths and destruction, or consider a territorial compromise with Putin?” Klitschko said during an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “How can we explain to the country that we need to give up pieces of our territory that cost the lives of thousands of our fighting heroes? Whatever move he makes, our president risks political suicide.”
It’s going to be really, really difficult to explain why nearly a million people have died fighting this war only to end up with much less land than they would have had if they would have simply surrendered on day 1.
He said that “Zelensky will probably need to resort to a referendum.”
“I don’t think he can reach such painful and important agreements on his own without popular legitimization,” Klitschko added.
Three-quarters of Ukrainians were opposed to Ukraine making territorial concessions to Russia to reach a peace deal, according to a poll published in December by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, a slight decrease from the 84% who said were opposed in May 2023.
…
Klitschko and Zelensky have been at odds since the president’s first year in office. The conflict has played out in repeated investigations and attempts to remove the mayor from the Kyiv City State Administration.
Obviously, Zelensky is no longer politically viable.
Klitschko probably isn’t either, but he appears to be knifing Zelensky in the back to try to gain some kind of political advantage in the post-war rump state.
This doesn’t seem to be going very well
People would have liked to have seen Russia take more territory, but Russia is tired of the war, and if Bibi decides Trump needs to end the Ukraine war to focus on the Middle East, he will do that.
Recent statements by Trump imply he’s going to be pretty supportive of the Ukraine.
But if you think about his statement at the RNC that “Putin is trying to conquer all of the Ukraine” (which literally no one believes), that could potentially be seen as a setup for accepting Putin’s deal, which is that Kiev officially surrender only about 20% of the country. He can then say “Putin was gonna take it all, I did Art of the Deal and he only got 20%.” Americans are too fat and stupid to know that this was Putin’s offer.
But I have no predictions on what Trump will do with the Ukraine. He could go either way and it wouldn’t surprise me.
