Russia-Ukraine War
The Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing as both sides attempt to negotiate for peace. President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready for talks however he added that any constitutional changes need a referendum. It would require members of the government to come together and vote on the changes.
“It is a long process which will be decided by the parliament and by the Ukrainian people,” he said.
“I explained to our negotiators at the talks that when one is talking about changes — and these changes may be of historic importance — there is no other way around it, we will have to hold a referendum,” he said.
“The people will have to speak up and respond to this or that form of compromise you have mentioned. And what they (the compromises) will be is the subject of our talks and understanding between Ukraine and Russia.”
When asked if he is willing to compromise with his Russian counter-part Zelensky said: “I think that without this meeting you cannot truly understand what they are really prepared to do in order to stop the war and what they are prepared to do if we are not ready for this or that compromise.”
Inhuman
In a video recently uploaded in Telegram, Zelensky called Russian soldiers inhuman. “They definitely have emptiness instead of heart. Instead of soul. Instead of everything that makes human, human.”
“Our military has already shot down so many Russian planes and helicopters that one can only wonder what do their pilots have instead of mind? Is it also emptiness?” he said.
Zelensky also said, in Kherson, “the occupiers shot at people who peacefully took to the streets without weapons at a rally for their freedom. For our freedom.
“The Russian soldiers do not even know what it is like to be free. They were driven here, to be honest, as if sentenced. Sentenced to death, sentenced to disgrace.”
