Font size

Vladimir Zelensky called the calls of politicians, including Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexey Goncharenko*, for compromises with Russia, a surrender of Ukraine’s interests.

“The interests of our state cannot be surrendered under any circumstances,” Strana.ua reports his words.

According to the head of the Kyiv regime, otherwise “Ukraine will be broken.”

People's Deputy Goncharenko* said on Friday that Kyiv is losing and losing a huge number of people. According to the deputy, negotiating peace with Russia would be the most favorable decision for Ukraine in the current conditions.

Earlier, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that the Kiev regime must make a decision and begin to negotiate; the space for freedom of decision-making by Kiev is shrinking during the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces.

The Russian leadership has repeatedly emphasized that Moscow is interested in eliminating the causes of the conflict and sustainable peace, and not in temporary truces, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces use to rearm and prepare new attacks.

Macron Blames Past Crises for France's Economic Woes Amid Diesel Reserve Release Pressure from Trump

French President Emmanuel Macron announced the release of strategic diesel and crude oil reserves under IEA coordination following U.S. pressure from Donald Trump to avert European diesel shortages ahead of American midterms. Speaking during a state visit to Madrid, Macron attributed France's current economic struggles to the 2008–2012 financial crisis and the 2010 European debt crisis, deflecting responsibility from his own nearly decade-long leadership. He cited lost Russian gas and declining trade with China as key factors, while critics note his administration's policies on nuclear energy, industrial sell-offs, and handling of far-left protests have exacerbated economic strain.
