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.

I don’t think Ukraine is about to conquer Russia or capture Moscow, even if they wanted to or if we want them to.

Do you think Russia will unconditionally surrender and stop fighting when Ukraine reaches the Russian border?

More likely there will simply be no peace and they’ll technically stay at war, with a huge minefield in between the two countries, until one of them runs out of money.

A safety buffer zone of a few kilometers, on the Russian side, past the Ukrainian country, sounds reasonable. Depending on how far they still keep shooting.

I have no idea. Even if they don’t, Ukraine just has to defend their territory, which they have proven more than capable of.

The only one party that can end this conflict is the aggressor.

The only thing they’ve proven is that the West really wanted to get rid of their old weapon stock.
