“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.

    I stand by what I said. You made the jump to Russians being Nazis and assuming that I am supporting everything Russia does.

      You’re right. the Russians in Ukraine aren’t Nazis.

      Nazis were well organized and disciplined. they had clear achievable goals. they took control or occupied over 20 countries in three years.

      Russia can’t even hold control of a territory in a single country, even after the deaths of over one million soldiers over three years.

      When you compare Russian military with Nazis it just makes it glaringly obvious how weak the Russian military complex is.

      However, when you compare the crimes Russian soldiers have perpetrated against Ukrainians it’s pretty clear that Russian soldiers are following Nazi ideals.
