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.

Indeed, it’s normal to have disputed claims, even between China and Russia. But as soon I mentioned China in the south china sea, that “jumped out”. If China behaves like dickheads with Russia, it’s normal. If they do it in a different region, it’s the US’ fault.

Yes, exactly. Russia share a border. The US is a country on the other side of the planet. It's already lolworthy that you typed this as your first argument. Why is the US trying to provoke these invasions that you pretend to hate so much?

You hate a country so much that it clouds your view to the point that you criticise said country for doing something (eg: invasions) and then defend another you like (Russia) for doing the exact same thing. “Go home yanks” one second and defend Russia invading other countries the next. And I’m the fucking zombie?

You forgot that only one country is behind these invasions. The USA. It provoked Russia to invade for years. Russia pushed for peace. This is a basic historical reality you're going to have to confront. This is what they're trying to do with Taiwan now.

I never left Europe, so I don’t know what’s that about medicine. I have free healthcare. I’m not a fucking tankie though, you won’t see me defending the invasion of other countries like you do.

You'll defend the USA though? A country that's invaded more that any other in your living memory. Says it all about where you stand and your lack of principles.

It’s just I have no patience to discuss with people

Yet here we are. You don't even agree with yourself.

You want this war, you love it so much that you go around the internet making excuses to justify it, you just lack the balls to admit it.

That's literally you you're describing, trying to justify America's latest war.

And then, when a country you don’t like does the same, you correctly criticise their imperialism and tell them to go home…

So we're agreed after all? The yanks should go home? If they'd done that in 2014 there'd be no war. Looks like this was all a misunderstanding comrade.

I really dislike people like you, so, and as soon I submit this comment, I’ll do what I should have done when you replied to me: block you.

What a coward.
