Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of living in a “Russian-made disinformation space” due to his administration’s talks with Kremlin officials.

He urged Trump’s team to be “more truthful” after Trump blamed Kyiv for the war and downplayed U.S. aid contributions.

Zelenskyy’s remarks came as U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg visited Kyiv amid shifting U.S. policy on Russia. Meanwhile, European leaders, feeling sidelined by U.S.-Russia talks, held emergency meetings.

Zelenskyy canceled a Saudi Arabia trip in protest.

          Get fucked, fascist, they don’t hold elections during martial law, which has been in effect since your fellow fascists invaded.

            LOL see, you can’t find it, cause it’s not in their constitution.
            And you should treally stop projecting.
            The fascists are slightly different red and blue MAGA fascists and racists, continuously attacking, invading and stealing from poor countries and the Banderite ones you support in ex-ukranus.
            Looks like you lost in both cases, lol enjoy seething and crying about it.
            Your banana republic provides top entertainment to us civilised European countries.

              Again, simply fascinating, essentially “no U!” 🤣

              Russia doesn’t attack civilians and elections are easy to hold while being invaded. Please, tell us more, comrade!

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Ukraine “The Constitution of Ukraine allows for some specific restrictions on rights and freedoms when the state of martial law is in effect.[10] The Constitution explicitly extends the five-year authority of the Verkhovna Rada (the national parliament of Ukraine) in the state of martial law until the first meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the next parliamentary term, elected after the cancellation of the state of martial law.[11] Scholars have stated that the Ukrainian constitution does not hold national elections while martial law is in effect.[12] The 2023 Ukrainian parliamentary election were not held and the 2024 Ukrainian presidential election also did not take place on its scheduled date of 31 March 2024.[13][12]”

          I am not posting this for @bloomcole, as that guy is a pathetic troll. But posting for others uses of this site.

            @bloomcole will thank you anyway since you’ve proven that he is right. Verkhovna Rada (the national parliament of Ukraine) is NOT THE PRESIDENT.

            As always, the Banderite coup defenders demonstrably LIE I rest my case loser

          Yes, let’s clear that up - it was a law, not the constitution.

          Constitution, article 83(4) - extends the Parliament’s powers until martial law is over. Also allows for the possibility of martial law, says that under martial law, some rights may be restricted.

          Ordinary law, “On the Legal Regime of Martial Law” - forbids elections during martial law.

          So, holding elections in Ukraine during war is merely illegal. And I repeat - with 20% of the country occupied, and millions in emigration, very hard. If you hold a public meeting with your voters and a ballistic missile arrives, then what?

          But since you consider them “banderite coup defenders”, you clearly take your clues from Moscow-based sources - why concern yourself with technicalities in law? The Kremlin does not concern itself with law, international, Ukraininan or Russian for that matter - it does what it wants. And you’re verbally supporting that.

              Yes, an Estonian anarchist named “perestroika”. You can read my blog at: http://perestroika.pw/ to see if I’m a nazi russophobe.

              Can I do a background check in return? :)

              Oh, you only registered 3 days ago, likely because you got your previous account banned by pushing Kremlin talking points.
