Speaking in Ankara after a meeting with Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not accept the results of talks on how to end the war with Russia that were held “behind Ukraine’s back”.

“It feels like the US is now discussing the ultimatum that Putin set at the start of the full-scale war,” Zelenskyy told reporters. He added: “Once again, decisions about Ukraine are being made without Ukraine. I wonder why they believe Ukraine would accept all these ultimatums now if we refused them at the most difficult moment?”

Zelenskyy also said he would seek the return of occupied eastern and southern towns and villages via diplomatic means, emphasising: “They will be Ukrainian. There can be no compromise.”

Reuters reported that Zelenskyy has postponed a visit to Saudi Arabia planned for Wednesday to avoid giving the US-Russia talks “legitimacy”.

    dont listen to the opinions of tankies. these are so called “socialists” who are so blinded by their hate-boner for western society and love of a faded memory of the Soviets that they can’t see that Russia is a capitalist gangster state guilty of all the things they hate.

    if someone comes from a .ml instance, its wise to assume they lack critical thinking skills and are consumed by “america bad. russia good” mentality.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them were just pretending.

      I’d rather not characterize a whole group of people as “hateable”, but thank you.

        Fair enough, but keep in mind that .ml users are like people who chose to own and drive Teslas. They weren’t born that way, they made that decision. No one made them. And in the case of .ml they are known for having a very large number of tankies, including mods and admins, and it’s easier to change instance than to change your car.

        It could also be compared to Twitter users: if you don’t agree with the nazis/tankies, why are you still on there? There are alternatives.

            What do you mean by two comments deep? That was my first reply to you, if that’s what you mean. And I wasn’t telling you to hate anyone, I was adding some perspective to a conversation; my comment literally starts with “fair enough”, meaning “I’m fine with your stance”.

            How are you better? Lmao

            Than tankies and nazis? The people I’m calling out? Tankies and nazis? You’re asking how am I better than them for calling them out and saying “if you use their platforms you are being complicit”? I’m not better than those guys? Yeah, ok champ, go fuck yourself.

              Lmao. “Those guys are haters.” You’re the one calling for hate and insulting me my guy. You’re literally the hater you’re warning me about.

                Those guys are haters.

                Do you not know what tankies are? Do you not know what nazis are? Are they just “haters” to you? I hope you’re a teenager, because no fucking adult should be saying this shit.

                You’re the one calling for hate and insulting me my guy.

                I’m the one calling for hate? Again, I’m assuming you don’t know what nazis and tankies are; and as for insulting you, you literally just told me I’m “no better than” nazis and tankies after I made a pretty civil reply to you - not to mention well before I showed up to this post you were the one telling a tankie “Wtf are you saying, bot?”

                Did you forget that? Are you perhaps a bot?

                Once again, go fuck yourself. I’m not gonna waste more time with you.
