Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine.
“If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” he said. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership… I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years.”
His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war.
Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.
I’m russian and I’m not sure, what “russian mind” means. I’m not a part of a hive. Neither are my Ukrainian neighbours.
No national stereotypes apply to every single individual from that nation. They are rather about statistical likelihoods. In the Russia people are much more likely to be lazy and socially reckless and say “I am not political” as if it was something to be proud of. And also, it shows a lot that they even feel safe to say so. In Finland people typically have mindset, where saying “I stay away from political conversations” would be very shameful. People would not feel socially safe saying that here. In the Russia it is not shameful. And that feature is one of the things that make “a Russian mindset” a useful concept for use in conversations. There are other features typical to people living in the Russia and atypical for others, not only this one thing.
Fair enough.
Interesting though, that “national stereotype” is offensive, but “statistical likelihood” suddenly supposed not to be.
