Nato membership for Ukraine is a no go for Russia, whose approval is actually needed to end the war. Also neither the US or most of European countries keen on having Ukraine in EU, especially when the war is still going on. Zelensky is just fucking with everybody here and insulting everybody's intelligence. He is not ready to step down, he is holding on for his dear life.

This guy is such a populist scammer.

Very useful of him. Ukraine needs leadership that can make peace with Russia, and still keep Kherson, Odessa, or leave up to referendums where they go. Zelensky wouldn't win election anyway. War was obviously big mistake, and looking to US/west for "protection" or terrorism support is just too high of a price to pay.

Zelensky can't be part of future of Ukraine, but it is very helpful for him to step down. Focus should be on trade instead of war.

Zelensky should have inquired about NATO guarantees before sending half his country into the meat grinder. The only guarantee NATO gives is a knife in the back. Ask the Kurds about it.
