Don’t fall for this and don’t call them peace talks. Russia wants capitulation talks. Resharing a piece I wrote last year which remains analytically applicable today www.policymagazine.ca/whatever-you...
It's time to repeat this: Zelenskyy agreeing to a ceasefire is not news. Save the breaking headlines for if Russia ever reciprocates.
Don't listen to claims that Zelenskyy wants to give up territory to Russia because he publicly supports a ceasefire. He has said numerous times that all of Ukraine's sovereign territory should be returned. If so-called partners had stepped up when needed, he would not have to play these games.

Stop asking Zelensky this question. He agreed to this back in March 2025. Putin keeps rejecting the freeze
[Q]: Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now, where you still keep 75% or more of your country? [President Zelenskyy]: Yes, right now we have to freeze and I think this is a real way to end this war.

📢 Russian propaganda blames Zelenskyy for prolonging the war and pushes #Ukraine toward capitulation. In this week’s #disinformation monitoring, we tracked how these narratives spread on TikTok and YouTube — and how bots and trolls help amplify them.👇 dizinfomonitor.substack.com/p/hes-preven...

📊 A new survey finds that Ukrainians' trust in Zelenskyy increased by 14% after the US diesel deal with Russia. "... because he publicly says what millions of Ukrainians feel and know..." www.kiis.com.ua?lang=eng&cat...
I wrote this over a year and a half ago. It's a reminder of why authoritarians dislike Zelenskyy. He stands by his principles and won't capitulate to unreasonable demands. He won't betray his country. They can't control him and they hate it. #Ukraine libraryofcontext.substack.com/p/dont-give-in

Sadly, I've been expecting this since November 2024. It's to Zelenskyy's credit that he was able to manage the orange traitor for this long. The stark reality is that Americans who continue to enable or support that traitor will have even more blood on their hands.
⚡️ “I believe steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate,” Zelenskyy tells Bloomberg. “I am not saying that this is the goal our partners are pursuing. I don’t want to think that our American partners believe the war could be ended sooner at Ukraine’s expense. But that’s how it looks.”

It's natural to try to find a domestic analog to Zelenskyy (regarding both his past and present careers), but there simply isn't one. He has done so much with his life that he doesn't fit in any neat boxes.
Sometimes I forget that Zelensky was a comedian before he was the President of Ukraine. He was their Jimmy Fallon and now he is a wartime president. All the while having to deal with the offspring of Augustus Gloop and Veruca Salt in US.
