Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Here is something constructive: the Russian Mafia state might just collapse soon, giving a window to hundreds of colonized peoples, like Chechens, Dagestanis, Mongols, Tatars, etc, a chance for freedom.

Russian nationalism is stronger in the rural areas than the urban ones... Odd, don't you think?

Oooh so now you go from "Russia is the bestest, Ukraine nazis" to "whuddabout" as you run out of anything constructive to say.

Not at all, I just think these comments are disingeneous and filled with fallacies. We use the same arguments when we pollute the earth (other countries should lead by example if we should stop polluting), so why does the same not apply to foreign interference? Maybe the USA should remove its 800+ military bases around the world before telling other countries they can't interfere in another countries sovereignty. Imagine a country saying, USA please leave. Do you think the USA will just say, "OK sure I'll pull all my troops out tomorrow."

This entire comment thread pretends like their poop doesn't stink while telling someone else their poop stinks. American Exceptionalism is a bad thing to defend.
