in reply to Nonilex • • •#Zelensky had until this week walked a fine line of staking out Ukrainian positions while avoiding any…breach w/the #US, #Ukraine’s most important ally in the…war. After…talks between #Russia & the US, Zelensky…laid out refusal to accept terms negotiated w/o Ukrainian participation.
At the news conference, Zelensky was focused & spoke w/intensity. He said he was not personally ruffled by the negotiations w/the #Trump admin. “This is not my first dialogue or fight,” he said. “I take it calmly.”

in reply to Nonilex • • •What a nutjob. Should be headline news: 'President spouts nonsense foreign policy, and government considers his removal' in a sane world. Instead it'll be "President explores provocative foreign policy direction" or some such sane-washing idiocy.
Media failure is such an enabler of this big developing threat to world peace.
