    Ukraine is in NO position to bargain or negotiate...period.
  • Why does the Western media not report on the human sacrifices of the war (both Ukrainian and Russian)? No matter?
  • If Zelenskyy had already pushed Russia out of all of claimed Ukrainian territory he could afford to say "there'll be no negotiation". Totally dependent on US aid, the latest counter offensive failing to make any notable gains, this even with being fully mobilized since the start of the war...he cannot afford to. This is really NATO saying to Russia "there'll be no negotiation" via Zelenskyy as it is not their lives being sacrificed and thus they are not losing any political capital by encouraging Ukraine to carry on.
  • @loveflying2
    The goal is to prolong this war as long as possible to get more money!
  • "to continue success in Crimea"...LOL, that means the end of the war is coming soon...
  • @Bananskuden
    What he's implying is that we're in the middle of a hybrid World War, and I believe he's correct.
  • @Ausf
    There will be no negotiation while the money keeps flowing.
  • How can he beat russia if the russian shovels keep hitting kiev night and day
  • @FeliceDeFalco
    Zelensly will not negotiate because the only ceasefire will be ON Russian terms
  • @evehawasinare228
    It's Constitution forbids negotiations. Plus Russia may have no reason to negotiate.
  • @najibsalim6454
    It does not matter whether Ukraine negotiate or not at this point, Russia though slow but it's achieving its objectives both globally and regional as for Ukraine there is just nothing from this point only inevitable defeat it's just a matter of time
  • @jimmyryan5880
    The russians can go home any time they want. What is there to negotiate? They don't need Ukraine's permission to eff off home.
  • @333BellaLee
    Zelensky's goal is to make Ukraine "BIG ISRAEL" - Zelensky,
