Ukraine is committed to peace but not at the expense of giving up its territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a sit down with representatives of the Indian media that was published on Aug. 25.
Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the need for Russia’s war to end during the latter’s historic visit to Kyiv on Aug. 23.
“When you say ‘diplomacy’, I’m all for it, but I’d like to see concrete steps that are not at the expense of 30% of our state and not at the expense of our population. If there is such a plan, we’re all for it,” Zelensky said.

“Hey, that’s my money?”
“Tell you what, I’ll just take 30% and call it peace.”
“Okay…just don’t do it again, right?”
Robber runs away laughing.

Peace for our time /s
I mean… they took Krym, West did nothing. So clearly they tried again on a grander scale.

30% + underlying mineral rights and coastal access.
Don’t forget he killed your grandparents and raped your kids.
But he says he won’t do it again.
…Or he doesn’t.
Just like he said last time.
More like you have a house and family and one day your neighbour, who has occupied the balcony for the last few years, breaks into your house and occupies some rooms, takes one of your children and makes you remove all doors and locks so he can come and go as he pleases into your remaining rooms.
