Zelenskyy outlines peace demands before high-stakes White House meeting with Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday outlined firm conditions for a “real peace" ahead of a high-stakes meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday.

Killings must stop as soon as possible, the fire must cease both on the battlefield and in the sky, as well as against our port infrastructure. All Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians must be released and the children abducted by Russia must be returned."

Zelenskyy wrote that thousands of Ukrainians remain in captivity and must all be released, while adding that pressure on Russia must be maintained while the "aggression and occupation continue."

"Based on the political and diplomatic situation around Ukraine, and knowing Russia’s treachery, we anticipate that in the coming days the Russian army may try to increase pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions in order to create more favorable political circumstances for talks with global actors," he wrote.

Trump had been calling for a ceasefire ahead of his meeting with Putin.

"It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up," Trump wrote.

so Ukr is not stepping up attacks? why not?

so Ukr is not stepping up attacks? why not?

Defensive attacks are attacks, I guess. I mean, the Free France attacks on Nazis were attacks.

Putinites live in a fantasy world.

 

[Rexedgar]

All of those requirements in the OP can be hashed out via ZOOM. This is going to be another crap show like the first time. Trump licking his chapped ass will lash out at Zelenskyy, imo.

 

[Airyaman]

so Ukr is not stepping up attacks? why not?

Because they lack long range capabilities.

In any case, Ukraine takes out military targets and refineries while Putin bombs civilians.

 

[anatta]

Because they lack long range capabilities.

Ukr has ATACMs and HIMAR

So Putin is not attacking military targets west of the Dnieper? sure he is. But Ukr. will not allow coverage of any targeting except civilian

Hard to use them without the munitions.

So how do you know about it?

Hard to use them without the munitions.

stocks are depleted worldwide. The USA is increasing production, but has to supply Asain needs as well.
Czech is trying to buy up what they can,for Ukr

Dwindling Ammunition Stocks Pose Grave Threat to Ukraine (Published 2024)

What few munitions remain are often mismatched with battlefield needs as the country’s forces gird for an expected Russian offensive this summer.

www.nytimes.com

At home, Ukraine is stepping up its own efforts to produce artillery shells under programs shrouded in secrecy, lest the locations become targets for Russian missiles. But production has not yet started, Ukrainian officials say.

US Army sends HIMARS to Pacific to boost long-range fires

The HIMARS is capable of launching "versatile, accurate, precision-strike" munitions with ranges from 9.3 to over 310 miles.

www.newsweek.com

The Army infantry unit is scheduled to replace 14 howitzers with 16 HIMARS launchers. According to the Pentagon, this transformation in firepower will enhance the unit's long-range precision strike capability and bolster its warfighting readiness in the Indo-Pacific.

So how do you know about it?

well i cant find it to source. too much stuff on the meeting, but im sure

Zelensky is correct.

 

[mrjurrs]

In Ukraine, military resources are limited.

R's withhold what Ukraine needs to fight because they know the next war in Europe will be fought with D kids.

" There's a Vietnam vet with a cardboard sign
Sitting there by the left turn line
The flag on his wheelchair flapping in the breeze
One leg missing and both hands free
… No one's paying much mind to him
The V.A. budget's just stretched so thin
And now there' s more coming back from the Mideast war
We can't make it here anymore
...I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shit don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore
… Will work for food, will die for oil
Will kill for power, and to us the spoils
The billionaires get to pay less tax
The working poor get to fall through the cracks
… So let 'em eat jellybeans let 'em eat cake
Let 'em eat shit, whatever it takes
They can join the Air Force or join the Corps
If they can't make it here anymore"

Hmm. According to the West, attacks against a genocidal occupier are “terrorism”, so apparently not.

Neocon propaganda at it's finest.

What about the Nazi's in the Ukrainian armed forces?

 

[Plasmaball]

so Ukr is not stepping up attacks? why not?

The mere fact they took children and you defend Russia says it all.

You shouldnt talk

Never going to happen.
Trump will scold Zelensky for show.

Defending, not attacking.

If you invade a country, you have your troops go in and kill people. If you defend a country, you are trying to repel the attackers.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

LOL What a foolish comment. When 400 drones and missiles target Kviv you think they are military targets?

Trump is the king of ceasefire agreements that don't hold up I will give him that. On the other hand if Russia won't even agree to a 30 day ceasefire why would anyone think they really want a peace settlement? All previous peace settlements were made during ceasefires AFAIK. Surrenders are a different story so maybe that is what Trump thinks Ukraine will do?

Right now, there is no process other than what's taking place on the battlefields in Ukraine.

I suspect Trump will blow smoke up Zelensky's and Europe's asses, telling them that he'll be relaying their terms to Putin. If Trump has a strategy it's probably let the inevitable destruction of Ukraine's military and Russian advances play out to the point where Europe and Ukraine have no choice but to accept the obvious reality. All of Ukraine's and Europe's demands assume that Ukraine can hold on and eventually push Russia back.

Indeed. Trump sees the war is in the way of business opportunities in Russia.

Hmm, that’s fascinating, because the “defenders” absolutely kill people in just about every war in human history.

Fascinating how you’ve suddenly decided they only “repel” the attackers now, like the conflict is some Saturday morning cartoon.

The Ukrainians are not trying to push Russia back. They are using their defensive advantage to win a war of attrition that will eventually collapse the Russian military. They are also targeting Russian factories and refineries and rail lines to interfere with Russian logistics on the front. This tactic is working very well for Ukraine and Russia gets weaker and broker every day. New and stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports wuld help greatly too but Trump is too weak to implement them and is prolonging this war. But from your posts it seems you want it to go on as long as it takes for Russia to prevail. That means many more years of war. Ukraine is nowhere near losing to Russia and after 3 years still control more territory than they did in 2022.
