Zelensky’s Bold Stand‑off: No “Outside‑Ukraine” Deals
President Volodymyr Zelensky has set the record straight: Ukraine will not be the silent partner in any agreement between Russia and the United States. He’s tired of the idea that the U.S. and Putin can just chat in a dimly lit room while Kyiv’s flag drifts away.
- During a recent conversation with former President Donald Trump, Zelensky noted that no mention was made of NATO membership—a clear sign that the negotiators are not thinking about European security.
- He warned, “Today it’s crucial that things don’t march to Putin’s beat. He wants every move to be a one‑on‑one deal between the U.S. and Russia, ignoring Kyiv’s voice.”
- “We’re here, we’re loud, and we’re not playing second fiddle,” he added, underscoring that Kyiv must stay front‑and‑center in any diplomatic outcome.
In a tone that’s half serious, half witty, Zelensky compared the situation to “giving someone your keys and then hoping they’ll remember you are the only one who can start the car.” He’s reminding the world that Ukraine’s seat at the table is non‑negotiable.

Trump & Hegseth: Ukraine’s Surrender? A Plain‑spoken Take
Picture a garden with a bunch of grown‑up politicians, all waving around a giant “surrender” flag. That’s what the latest twists have turned Washington and Brussels into, especially when Ukraine’s own voice cuts in loud and clear.
Meet Kira Rudik – the Ukrainian MP who isn’t about to bow out
So Kira Rudik pops into a Sky News interview feeling a bit like a rebel on the front lines. “What did we do wrong?” she asks, because the whole universe feels a little like a punch‑in‑the‑face.
“Security Guarantees? Who’s Got the Playbook?”
- The U.S. keeps “security guarantees” fuzzy. They’re hesitating to promise anything concrete if a peace deal actually lands.
- The U.K. keeps pushing: can Ukraine still chase its NATO dream? The answer? They’re still hammering—no no‑thanks yet.
Her Message in Quick Bites
- “We’re fighting for our nation, our future, our democracy—yes, we’re still alive.”
- “We’re sovereign, we want to survive… and that’s all we’re asking.”
- “Is it that Russia is a neighbor and the West didn’t throw a big enough party to push them back? Get it.”
- “What’s happening to everyone who grew up under war‑crime shadows? When will their fight get a win?”
Wrap‑up in a Nutshell
In plain terms, Kira’s stand says: if we’re stuck against a wall, let’s open the door and say, “You’re not alone.” The glares from U.S. and EU officials are loud, but maybe the question is—how can we keep taking peace as a derrière-but-strong‑handed-sucker?
And that’s the headline—stay tuned as the drama unfolds.
