Ukraine is committed to peace but not at the expense of giving up its territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a sit down with representatives of the Indian media that was published on Aug. 25.
Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the need for Russia’s war to end during the latter’s historic visit to Kyiv on Aug. 23.
“When you say ‘diplomacy’, I’m all for it, but I’d like to see concrete steps that are not at the expense of 30% of our state and not at the expense of our population. If there is such a plan, we’re all for it,” Zelensky said.
There was a post about this in !worldnews@lemmy.ml the other day.

“We were not neutral from day one, we have taken a side, and we stand firmly for peace,” Modi said. Modi is paying the first visit to Ukraine by an Indian prime minister. As he pushed for a way forward on ending the Ukraine war, Modi urged Zelensky to sit down for talks with Russia and offered to act as a “friend” to help bring peace. “No problem can be resolved on a battlefield,” Modi said in Poland on Wednesday before heading to Ukraine.
At best, Modi is equivocating on taking a side while calling for “peace”. At worst, he’s using “peace” as a cudgel to pressure Ukraine into ceding the territory to Russia.
Incidentally I was banned for my comments in that post. All I said was basically that Ukraine has a right to defend itself, and one of their communist mods @OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml called that “pro war”, removed my posts and banned me (modlog).
Mods on Lemmy.ml are fragile eggshells allergic to facts. It’s really best to avoid the entire instance.
The irony saying that while the World mods are actively censoring criticism.
It appears that you are unbanned and were able to remain unbanned while disagreeing with the mods, that’s pretty different. What’s your objection, you and them disagree on what is spamming or not?
