KILMEADE: Would you accept peace deal that freezes everything the way it is now, where you keep 75% or more of your country? ZELENSKYY: Yes. Right now, we have to freeze, & this is real way to end this war. Freeze and stop. This is minimum that we need from Russia. And we need security guarantees.

This is happening because Trump betrayed UKR. It started with reducing aid, then stopping aid and blackmailing them by making them vulnerable to ballistic missiles by cutting off Patriots and intelligence. Had the US doubled down on support as Congress wanted, he would be in a much stronger position

Actually he’s been offering to freeze the line as is for a year. He knows Russia won’t do it. And finally, I’m not sure they want all of that territory back for practical purposes. So while I agree with the basis of your comment, this isn’t new. This is Zelensky being a diplomat.

NATO has been warning the people of their member states to start preparing for war. We have plenty of examples now for Article 5 to be invoked. Several ships being sunk by Russia in Romanian water. Drone bombs in Germany. Stop the Chamberlain appeasement and push back hard.

Even if these incidents are confirmed, Article 5 is not a tally that triggers once enough provocations accumulate. Allies must determine that an armed attack occurred, so attribution, intent and scale are decisive—not the Chamberlain analogy.

paxconsulting.blogWinds of warTroubles are unfolding everywhere. Winds of war are blowing. Right now it’s a bit more than a breeze. There are worrying signs we should not overlook. And it is always better to be aware than…

This is the first time ive heard Zelensky be willing to accept Russian territorial gains…..major development and very sad…clearly a recognition that Trump will align more and more with Putin….we should be embarrassed

I don't want to see Ukraine give up anything but it's their choice and we broke our promises to put them in that position. Magas should be ashamed. But Z, do us a favor. Don't give him any wins before election day.

No need for a special meeting with outsiders. Simple and fast solution; all Russian military return to Russia, cease all Russian aggression in Europe, return all POWs and children, pay retributions.

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was signed in 1994 by the US, the UK and Russia, prohibiting the threat or use of military force or economic coercion against Ukraine in exchange for them giving up their nuclear weapons. Russia can never be trusted, and neither can Republicans.

This disgusts me, but I cannot blame Ukraine. I blame Trump and NATO. We should have slapped Putin hard the moment he dropped bombs and rolled tanks over the border. Remember the gross atrocities of the Wagner Group. He seized Crimea in 2014 and came back, what’s going to stop him again?

You took the words right out of my brain. Sometimes I feel Watters only exists so that Kilmeade looks marginally less shitty. (By a very slim margin, that is.)

He has no choice now after Trump froze Patriot missile defense/offensive delivery systems, & Musk the Neo-nazi slowed down Starlink internet access for Ukrainian defensive needs to a crawl. Looks as if European NATO has also again thrown Ukraine under the bus for European security needs. 1/2

What would we do if one day china attacks us and asks us to give up %25 of our country? Why are we so cavalier with Ukrainian lives? I find the whole questioning demeaning and hurtful...we use to stand up for freedom seeking people

"Freeze and open peace talks," he said. He never said anything like “Whatever the Russians occupy now, they can keep forever.” He talked like the #OrangeClown does, and that’s good. He’s playing the same game.

Absolutely! Zelenskyy is just projecting a willingness to compromise and ensure a ceasefire. Of course it will never happen as Putin’s life depends on a victory that Russia will never achieve

Zelenskyy says he'll accept a ceasefire along current front lines, despite Russia occupying Ukrainian territory. He asks for security guarantees. That's a concrete negotiating position, not a refusal to pursue peace. What comparable commitment has Putin made?

"...and we need security guarantees" And we all know how well that worked for Ukraine at the beginning on the 3 day SMO. So I don't think Ukraine is going to stop while a Russian stooge is the US president

People on the right keep asking Zelenskyy to make concessions and ceasefires, has anyone checked with what Putin wants? No, right, we all know what Putin wants. The end of Ukraine as a sovereign nation.

Back when we fought good v evil, we fought until evil was dead. We fought to win. Then we started fighting for politics and there’s no imperative to fight to the last. 🇺🇦 v 🇷🇺 is good v evil. We should fight to win and stop fucking about. I’m afraid those days are over. At least for meow. We fucked up

This is masterful on the part of Zelenskyy. He’s agreeing to something ridiculous on its face knowing full well it won’t be enough for Russia.

I love how he destroyed the right wing fascist narrative that Ukraine wants the war to continue. He is willing to stop defending his country once Russia stops attacking his country. It isn't hard to figure out for anyone who isn't on Putin's side.

How sad that this hero of his country realizes he must "give in" to Russia's demands because of the U.S. (and other countries) refusal to give Ukraine the support they promised. Once Putin has the deal he wants, he will not stop. He will move again on Ukraine and the other countries.

Kyiv just said yes to the freeze on camera. Now the burden sits where it always sat: Moscow has to say the same word, and it never has. Security guarantees are the whole deal, not a footnote.

Try this for a peace deal: Putin recalls all his troops from Ukraine immediately and they bring with them, all the Russky speaking supporters of Russia, currently in Donbas/Eastern Ukraine. Russia to fucking stay out of Ukraine.

He’s a smart man. He knows that Putin/Trump won’t agree to that. They definitely will not agree to the security guarantees, and Putin wants the whole country. He’s putting an offer out there that he knows will fail while making himself look reasonable. Good move

I want Kilmeade and the other pro-Russians to be asked how they'd like it if Russia was trying to annex the US. Like how about we offer to give Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana to Putin, he renames it the Gulf of Russia.

Bravo of Zelenskyy to take his dire message to Faux News and their shitty viewers. If he can change the minds of even a few magats that Russia is not America’s friend, it will have been worth it. But hate he has to do this

Too many people are not aware of this: Ukraine agreed to give up its massive Soviet-era nuclear weapons arsenal and delivery systems in the 1990s, formalizing the transfer through the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 in exchange for security assurances from the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia.

The experiences of Ukraine, Libya are just two historical examples of why Iran & every other country would be foolish to give up Nuclear weapons.

Definitely a rhetorical question. 😉 Since his brain is mush, I highly doubt he would even know what a reporter was talking about anyhow.

I would disagree. There are plenty of old and young Americans who have no idea about this. Any more than they know that there was already an Iran nuclear deal in place that was working very well.

A deal signed by Russia and celebrated by the Russian people. The moment Putin invaded Crimea and the worlds response was nothing but a furled brow it set the stage for where we are today.

This is disappointing but Zelenskyy needs to do what he thinks is best for his country. If he wants to fight, we should support that. If he wants to let his people have some semblance of peace, even if giving up some territory, I support that. It’s not my place to tell him what’s best for HIS people

Agree but damn. I’d like to think if he had a fully enabled Starshield he could make headway via drones back onto their own territory. My empathy is off the charts for the Ukrainians who live in the territories that would be lost but also with the entire country who is living through this horror.

Zelenskyy is not agreeing to give up any territory. Freezing the contact line is something he's been talking about for at least a year as a way to end active hostilities, but he's said they won't accept the occupied territories as belonging to Russia.
