"Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier," Zelenskyy said in a Telegram message early Saturday.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy defiantly declared Saturday that his countrymen “will not give their land to occupiers,” after Donald Trump suggested that a peace deal would include some “swapping” of territories with Russia.

“The answer to Ukraine’s territorial question is already in the constitution of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said in a message on Telegram early Saturday. “No one will and no one can deviate from it. Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.”

His comments came after Trump announced on Truth Social that a long-awaited meeting with Vladimir Putin had been scheduled for next Friday in Alaska.

  1. invading land that isn't part of Russia
  2. abducting citizens and sending them to concentration camps
  3. abducting children and feeding them into human trafficking rings across the globe
  4. military attacks against citizens
  5. continued attacks against Ukrainians calling them "Nazis"
  6. blowing up critical infrastructure that maintains public safety (the dam)
  7. planting explosives and holding nuclear engineers hostage at a nuclear waste site as a bargaining chip to threaten Ukraine

edit sorry, forgot some of the more heinous crimes because there are just so many

  1. bombing schools and killing children while they were at school
  2. bombing hospitals that were functioning as natal/infant care facilities
  3. bombing parks and shopping centers in an effort to kill civilians
  4. burning civilian victims in mass unmarked graves to remove evidence
  5. torturing POWs in ways that are cruel and unusual
  6. looting the bodies and homes of Ukrainians (who tf steals toilets???)

sounds like some pretty Nazi shit to me dude. at the very least it's the same shit terrorists do.

US has nothing to do with what Russia is doing to Ukraine, you bringing it up is a feeble attempt at distraction away from the crimes Russia is committing.

Let me paint a picture for you.

You're walking down the street with your family and a drunk Russian pulls out a gun in front of you and threatens you to give up your stuff. your mother and father take too long to respond and are both shot in the face. the Russian then calls over a couple of his friends who come over and take turns raping your mother's bloody corpse in front of you for several days. when they're finished, they shoot you in the stomach and take your shit then leave you for dead but not before you stab one of them in the balls.

several days later the Russians are apprehended and taken to court. the judge charges them with rape, desecration of a corpse, unlawful use of a handgun, theft, and unlawful detainment. they will spend the next 10 years in prison.

the judge then charges you with attempted murder for stabbing the one guy in the balls. your property is never returned, the deaths of your parents are never justified, and you will spend then rest of your life in prison.

when your lawyer asks about the double homicide charges, the judge says that he dropped them because everyone in this case was guilty and he's allowing the criminals to "save face". after all, they're already being charged with five other crimes.

is this your idea of justice?

never mind, your opinion is absolutely trash and I really couldn't give less of a shit.
