In an exclusive interview, the president of Ukraine talks about his outreach to Trump, stalled Ukraine aid and Russia’s growing influence in the U.S.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine warned in an interview that Russian influence had pierced the American political system and rejected the idea, backed by allies of Donald Trump, that Ukraine could swiftly end the war just by making massive territorial concessions.
But Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he had privately urged Trump through intermediaries to travel to Ukraine and that Trump had expressed interest but had not yet committed to making a trip. Zelenskyy said he was open to hearing Trump’s proposals for the war, while making clear he was highly skeptical.
“If the deal is that we just give up our territories, and that’s the idea behind it, then it’s a very primitive idea,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with Axel Springer media outlets. POLITICO is owned by Axel Springer.
Zelenskyy continued: “I need very strong arguments. I don’t need a fantastic idea, I need a real idea, because people’s lives are at stake.”

Perfectly fitting ad from the Politico article
Wow the ads. I assumed everyone was already using some sort of ad blocker.
They probably should, ads are super annoying.
And malicious, they spy on you, infect you with malware, and amount to about half of web traffic, causing insane emissions, 20 times that of crypto.
Tucker Carlson is not strictly speaking considered an ad, although he probably should
It’s the in-app browser. Otherwise I do.
You can switch it to default to your browser (hopefully with ad blocking) of choice.
These are the exact kind of targeted ads I see when I disable my adblock. I’m a white male in rural Kentucky so I guess advertisers assume I watch Tucker Carlson and buy trucks (as if I could even afford one).
It’s at least an assurance that I’ve been successful at protecting my privacy enough that advertisers don’t know specifics beyond my surface-level demographics.
In other news, the sky is blue.
This fact is obvious to anyone with basic critical thinking skills. The problem is that there’s a huge portion of the US population that’s been lied to by a group of corporate media as a reaction to the public backlash over Watergate that resulted in Nixon’s resignation. A portion of the media has been utilizing Amygdala Hijacking to force emotional reactions via fear responses to misinformation for 40+ years. People are scared about threats that doesn’t actually exist and are actively working against their own self-interest due to those non-existent threats, regardless of any counter proof. They weren’t reasoned into being fearful of the thing, so reason can’t get them back out of it.
I really hope Trump goes and gets bombed by a Russian drone or something
Silly. I love how in the US, if you question all the money going to Ukraine or Israel, you’re labeled a traitor, sympathetic, and corrupt…
