Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

      Are you the average idiotic redditor, or do you want to academically talk in good faith, trying to understand what is really going on, without any of those “slava ukraini” biases?

        Good faith? From point one you have avoided to answer anything, and on order to not be “idiotic” I have to watch a 1 hour video that explains why aaaasaaacksually this invasion is good because Ukraine didn’t sign Minsk pact, so of course Russia didn’t have to follow Budapest’s one. Brilliant.

        Please think any atrocity and any war you think shouldn’t have been started and there will be academic explanations as to why it’s ok to start it.
