Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."

How about telling him to f--k off, mind his business about you protecting your country and its people from an invader and if diesel is low for Amers because he started a war with Iran, bombs away on Russia's oil refineries, 💥.💙💛

⚡️Russia struck Kharkiv's power plant shortly after Trump announced 'energy ceasefire.’ Ukraine's Presidential Office confirmed that the attack occurred after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

After hearing dimwit Donald bloviating day-in and day-out, it's almost shocking to be exposed to an actually-intelligent head of state. Zelenskyy just called Donny's bluff, of course.

I know he has little choice, but I find it so unbelievable that Zelenskyy manages to continue to treat DJT as if he may be a reasonable man instead of Putin’s lapdog.

If only the USA people had been able to give Trump a four year audition before voting in 2024. The rest of the world is a little tired of hearing from Americans who imply their country was scammed into voting for the criminal piece of shit in the Whitehouse.

Zelenskyy for US President. He always counters with the reasonable approach while war-criminal-Putin always runs and hides—like the murderous child that he is.

Trump IS a traitorous criminal. The ugly truth is that Donald is only interested in helping his fellow war criminal— Putin. 💙🇺🇦💛 #SlavaUkraine

Zelenskyy shouldn’t bother to indulge Trump. He’s gotta know that he’ll only move the goalpost after anyhow. Of course he probably knows that and is playing Trump in return So sad that strong leaders like Zelenskyy have to spend energy this way. He has so many other priorities

Don't do it Z. It's just another game. Besides Putin will wait until the 1st day of the 3rd month & start bombing again, if he can wait that long. Which I doubt.

Seems reasonable to me. Suites everyone, Zelenskyy gets his country back, Putin gets a ramp off, Trump gets his 2 days worth of diesel. What's there not to like! Now, let's suggest the same with Iran and Israel and the USA!!! Ceasefire and elections everywhere and everyone gains.

"... how much more evidence is necessary to assess that Trump has undermined U.S. national security and is working for Russia? And how much longer will Republicans in Congress continue to protect him as he does it?" - Heather Cox Richardson

This is good on several levels: he points out that Trump and Putin are on friendly terms and Putin may listen to Trump, and he 'gives in' to Trump's 'demand' but does so within the parameters of a democratic state (which - of course - wasn't what T. intended).

pootie has no word of honor. for him peace is weakness. he knows only violence. Kick him out of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

If democrats take back the house, everyone involved in this conspiracy must be charged to the fullest extend of the law. If democrats try to be apolitical (Merrick Garland) or play both sides (Chuck Schumer) they’ll come back. no election will save us next time.

How rich! Trump wants Zelenskyy & Ukraine to have elections. However, to most of us, Trump seems doing his damnedest to make sure he can throw out votes against Repubs that save his behind from prison, using intimidation,violence,lies & everything he can to ensure we do not have fair elections.

Donald J. (Drumpf) Trump has ALWAYS been a Russian asset. And the billionaires and the angry ignorant ones put him into the highest office of the land. THAT is what is wrong with this country. imo

Why does Trump have a say why Ukraine needs to have an election?! Don't give him what he wants! It will for sure get rigged. Do not organize Ukraine elections. They're just trying to remove Zelenskyy, because he is a hero! Something neither Trump or Putin will ever be.

Wait a minute. Much the same as you would not tell the deaf ears of Trump how to run his country he should not assume that you would be open to his rambling. Don’t participate in his  Agenda.

I'm wondering if Zelensky is asking for 60 days so the US midterm elections will be over (hopefully) and he can figure the election results into Ukraine's strategy. Of course, Putin will never uphold a ceasefire with Ukraine.

I don't think he believes Putin will agree to a ceasefire, but 60 days is the minimum amount of time in which they could organize elections. Zelenskyy has given this number before.

Weren't the people of Ukraine already asked if they wanted elections recently? And they basically all wanted Zelenskyy to stay in his position? Am I imagining that?

Great!!! At least some good comes from the bad. I would love it if and when Europe and the rest of the world are not dependent on US for any technology or space programs. .

During Covid, we learned that forcing people to find alternatives to jobs and products tends to not leave people flocking back afterwards. Pretty sure Trump did, and he is just torching the place since he can't be president a 3rd time.

I agree but I also have to believe that Z is choosing to use Trump’s comment to his advantage rather than ignore it, which he’s done for so many other comments. His approval rating is high enough to withstand an election, and any reprieve from Russia gives them time to restock and strategize.

Trump has zero authority or credibility to call for elections. Trump is a small, ignorant man who runs his mouth way too much. Zelenskyy is a courageous, loyal, intelligent and credible leader. If Trump will not actually help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion, he should just STFU.

Karl is such a sniveling little shit. Both here and in the Hamilton interview he clearly takes so much pleasure in laundering Trump & Vance's specious crap.

A) he's so much better at this than Fuckface is B) [feeling a little wistful about a 2-mo election cycle] C) clearly Z knows that Poots has 🍊💩🤡 by the balls and that 🤡 wouldn't dare tell him to do anything - this is another way for the clown to fail on the public stage while being called out for it.

That’s the answer to Trump’s “new president” demand. Ukraine can’t hold elections under martial law while millions are displaced or fighting. Zelensky is saying: get Putin to stop shooting for 60 days, and Ukrainians—not Trump—can decide who leads them.

Donald doesn’t even want fair elections here in the US. Repubs act like elections are an inconvenient practice. They’d be fine letting the wealthiest appoint who they wish.

At this point Zelensky should invade Moscow, remove Putin, install a non-oligarch govt and drop all Russian oligarchs in middle of Siberia during November. Film a "last billionaire standing" reality show.

How about a FAIR election in Russia at the same time? And we certainly need one here ASAP. The Parliamentary system would not allow our current abysmal situation, having a madman in power.

Dictators, unfortunately, also rise to power in parliamentary democracies. To be clear: He wants to be a full-fledged dictator, but he is not there now. The most immediate leverage against him succeeding will be the 2026 midterms on November 3. Volunteer and vote like our democracy depends on it.

This guy is a true hero. When the world will have forgotten Trump and his criminal gang, he will still be considered as a man with spine, a democratic fighter and a man of honor.

What rubbish. Ukraine doesn’t need mid-war elections. They need support from their allies - including the U.S.

Zelenskyy’s right.. elections need peace, not Russian missiles. Trump’s attacks only embolden Putin. I feel for him. As a U.S. service member, I’ve seen what real resolve looks like. We stand with those fighting for their freedom.

This man is a real leader and is not in this for his own enrichment, power over his people a TRUE HUMANITARIAN. America would be so enriched by a Zelenskyy. 👏🏼👏🏽❤️💙❤️💙

Share near far & wide ‼️🚨⏰🔔ALL Americans 👇👇👇👇don’t be blind A lower price of the Diesel for you will only be for 7 weeks ; just enough for DJT to win the midterms ; putin only just has sufficiënt Diesel for his own people. Putin doesn’t has more Diesel. Putin & trump are no Hero’s as they pr…. 👇👇👇👇

🍊💩 hates Zelenskyy bc trump made a phone call demanding that Zelenskyy find dirt on Biden or just make shit up. Zelenskyy said NO. That call led to 1st impeachment. Bc of that is why trump hates Zelenskyy. He blames Zelenskyy for being impeached.

Okay for the people in the back.. me🙋‍♂️. Tell me how Trump is allowed to dictate policy of another country? l know that its allowed in this country as Isreal runs America and sets rules. But l have never seen it in other countries.

Zelenskyy once again demonstrating what true leadership is. The felon couldn’t match him in 100 lifetimes. His betrayal of our allies because of his unending infatuation with Putin is disgraceful. And MAGA wonders why we’ve been calling him a Russian agent for 10 years
