Zelensky better sleep with one eye open. His days are numbered although, he continues to act like the pompous clown that he is! Asking for a ceasefire while, he continues to fight and Ukrainian soldiers die by the thousands. Russia in full attack mode now in the frontlines hitting the hapless Ukrainian army from multiple sides with artillery, rockets, bombs, missiles. The Ukrainian frontlines are now collapsing. He is in no position to dictate terms on Putin as he continues in the peace talks. That is all for show and no serious attempt by Zelensky to strike a peace treaty. One day, he will wake up and see the Russians with guns pointed at him and say, what took you so long? I knew this day was coming.
I can see that there were several points during the American Revolution when you would have recommended surrendering.
At some point, you have to be realistic and save the lives of your soldiers, fighting on to get slaughtered by the thousands. Russians are not playing. Going full bore to destroy the Ukraine army and force total surrender without Zelensky's pre-conditions or truce. This Ukraine war will end whether Zelensky and his warmongering buddies, Merz, Macron and Starmer like it or not. However, the Russians will dictate terms when they win the war. Zelensky and his warmongering buddies, Merz, Macron and Starmer will have no say in the matter.
