“It doesn’t mean that it will happen this way,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in Budapest.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a rapid peace deal with Russia, arguing it would lead to a “loss” for Ukraine.

Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he could resolve the war in 24 hours, aims for a quick end, but Zelenskyy insists that a rushed settlement would compromise Ukraine’s independence.

Speaking in Budapest, Zelenskyy also rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s call for a cease-fire, citing failed attempts in 2014.

Additionally, he warned of North Korean troop involvement in Ukraine if Western allies don’t increase political pressure on Pyongyang.

      With a slightly growling Chihuahua I saw across the street.

      Or like, a baby kitten that wanted my ball of string.

      You know what? This conversation is concerning me, here, take my Texas, please!
