  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Zelenskyy says Ukrainians 'really do value' America's support​


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called his meeting at the White House last week "regrettable" on Tuesday and said he is ready to pursue peace under President Donald Trump's leadership.

Zelenskyy made the concession in a lengthy statement posted to social media on Tuesday, saying Ukraine "is ready to come to the negotiating table." He added that last week's meeting "did not go the way it was supposed to be," and he said "it is time to make things right."

"My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts," Zelenskyy wrote.

"We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal," he added.

He shouldn't meet with Trump alone. America needs to know the truth about the meeting, not propaganda.
That’s entirely fair, I can agree with you on that.

Blessings

From what I read, Zelenskiy is only interested in buying time.
How about concessions? How about admission of guilt over the violation of the Russian-speakers rights? How about recognition of the referenda in Donbas, Lugansk, Herson, Zaporizhia?
He could have agreed to the simple demands of Russia at the outset of the Special Military Operation. Instead he forced Russia's hand and destroyed his country.
Putin should demand much more out of Zelenskiy before he even sits down to talk to him.

Putin is wrong. The former KGB assassin is a ruthless, power-hungry dictator. He is the invader.
Did you get these ideas from Pravda? I cannot imagine any media from the free world being so hostile to an invaded country fighting for its survival.

You understand in encouraging a war Ukraine cannot win to keep going, Ukraine will only lose more people and land in the end? Is that what you want?
