War with Russia closer to end than we think - Zelensky

Laura Gozzi  | 12 hours ago


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the war with Russia could end sooner than some people think.

"I think that we are closer to peace than we think," he told US broadcaster ABC News.

He added that Ukraine could push Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict, but only if Kyiv was coming from a "strong position" - once again calling on his Western allies to strengthen the Ukrainian army.

The Ukrainian president is in the US this week to speak at the United Nations General Assembly and to present what he has called a "victory plan" to his Western allies, including US President Joe Biden.

In a statement ahead of the visit, Zelensky said the plan included further weapons donations, diplomatic efforts to force Russia to agree to peace, and holding Moscow accountable for its full-scale invasion in 2022.

In his interview with ABC News, Zelensky said his victory plan was not about negotiating with Russia, but rather it was "a bridge to a diplomatic way out, to stop the war".

On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was being cautious about media reports of a Ukrainian plan and added that the conflict would only end when Russia's aims were achieved.  .  .  .

In a sense, He is right. Ukraine has to deal from a position of strength. No doubt about it.

Betting on Harris may not put him there. But for the moment, Biden is still POTUS.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yep, Zelensky really screwed his country and himself when he sided openly with Harris and the Dems in Pennsylvania.  Tragic.


Speaker Johnson demands Zelenskyy remove Ukraine's ambassador to US after Pennsylvania visit

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/speaker-johnson-demands-zelenskyy-remove-ukraines-ambassador-us-114143445

Quote
WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Mike Johnson is calling on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to fire his country's ambassador to the U.S. as Republicans criticize Zelenskyy's visit to an ammunition plant in Pennsylvania, a swing-state, as a political stunt.

The Republican speaker's demand Wednesday came as Zelenskyy addressed the United Nations in New York on the eve of his visit Washington, where he has plans to brief lawmakers on Capitol Hill...

Rep. James Comer, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced Wednesday he was opening an investigation into whether the Biden-Harris administration used taxpayer-funded resources to fly Zelenskyy to Pennsylvania as a campaign event....

(snip)

Johnson, who is close to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, said no Republicans were invited to the plant tour on Sunday, which he said was arranged by Ambassador Oksana Markarova.

An Army official said it was standard procedure to invite House and Senate members who represent the district where such industrial plants are located. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal discussions, said that in this case interested congressional members from the area attended.

Joining for the visit were the state’s Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sen. Bob Casey and the district's Rep. Matt Cartwright, all Democrats. The plant is located in Scranton, Biden's hometown.

(snip)

Later Johnson, who said he won't be meeting Thursday with Zelenskyy at the Capitol, said the ambassador “crossed the line” and the situation requires “immediate attention and action.”

And here are the consequences...

Trump criticizes Zelensky for not striking deal to end Ukraine war

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-criticizes-zelensky-not-striking-220335108.html

Quote
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of refusing to strike a deal with Moscow to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

"We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal," Trump said at a campaign rally in North Carolina.

"So many dead people, any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now," the former US president said.

"You have a country that has been obliterated, not possible to be rebuilt," Trump continued, referring to the situation in Ukraine. "It will take hundreds of years to rebuild it. There's not enough money to rebuild it if the whole world got together."

Trump criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their ongoing support of Ukraine, indicating he would end US aid to the country if re-elected in the US presidential election on November 5.

"They're not going to be satisfied until they send American kids," Trump claimed, "we're not going to have our soldiers die across the ocean," he said.

Trump is wrong here. Why should Ukraine "make a deal" with a country that breaks every deal they sign?

And the notion that it'll take Ukraine centuries to rebuild is bullshit. As if Germany and Japan are still rebuilding from a worse war.

Looks like Zelensky figured out real fast how badly he screwed up and is going to Trump Tower to kiss Big Daddy's ring and beg forgiveness.

Swedish Defense Giant Saab to Establish Production in Ukraine

Amira Barkhush  |  Sep 26, 2024  |  12:56


The Swedish company Saab plans to set up production in Ukraine to support the development of the country's independent defense capability.

This was reported by Reuters, citing Saab CEO Micael Johansson.

According to Johansson, he sees potential for cooperation with Ukrainian companies regarding drones capabilities. He also mentioned that Ukraine could serve as a supplier of munitions components and contribute to the advancement of sensor technology.

"We have to help Ukraine build sovereign capacity and capabilities, so we need to have partnership with Ukrainian industry in Ukraine and also Ukrainian industry that has moved outside of Ukraine," he said.

Johansson said that the arms industry is moving from donation-based aid to a direct partnership with Ukraine.

"I think we are sort of in a movement of going from having countries donating things to Ukraine, which will continue, of course, to having us as an industry delivering directly to the MoD (Ministry of Defense) and the defense forces in Ukraine  .  .  .
