  1. That’s the rigth thing to do. Talk to him. It’s only you anc Putin can stop the war. Don’t listen to the West. They push you and left in mid air. It’s not there lost it’s your lost. Do the rigth thing and save your countryman lives. Save your cities. You should know how to play games. From the very start of you talk to him non of this will happen.

  2. If he meets with Putin he will be murdered by Putin.

  3. Who is leader Europe to Ukaraine peace and happy life

  4. If only they took Putin seriously since the last 8 years he has been warning them. This could have been avoided

  5. Are you f*cking st*pid then f*cking talk with Putin and agree something.

  6. Oh now he wants to talk, isn't he the one that laughs at Putin's face in there meeting where macron was present

  7. The world now loves Zelenskyy and there will be no forgiveness if anything happens to him.

  8. If he meets with them in person he will be killed.

  9. You bitter talk to russia not the west
    You have problem with russia not the west
    The west cannot help you only russia

  10. He thought Americans was going to fight for him , respect to Putin, Putin has America under his feet . Putin is the man that respects human life .

  11. This is what I get when You put the leader of opposition in prison and shut down 3 TVS that denounced your regime 👁️ trhuth hurts

  12. You can't reason with an evil dictator monster 😠
    He's killing civilians because…? 😠
    The rest of the worlds leaders…need to grow a pair!!!!!
    Take the mother f'r out already 😠
    Sanctions mean nothing to Putin obviously!!!

  13. Wait…does he only realize now that he have to talk to putin?..when these operations were at the beginning he was on the streets telling Russia to come through he is ready to fight…the world deceived this guy into making him a hero which he is not…day 8 he realizes that he is abt to die…now he wants to talk…after so many of his people lost lives including innocent children…i hate politics

  14. Lol. He should have think about that a month ago. Washington's puppet that's what he is.

  15. After ruining half of his country now he is thinking about to have direct talk with Russia. Walkup sir from the illusion of getting support from US and NATO. Western countries has very cleverly made the move and Zelensky fell prey to them. Now its not too late wake up and save the rest.

  16. Putins negotiating strategy will consist of him jiggling his zipper.
    Let's hope Zelensky is a swallower

  17. Can you imagine if the President of Ukraine became the president of the United States????? OMG would be the best thing to happen to the United States.. Who agrees with me????

  18. You can see Trey from FOX News!

  19. A good practical leader who may not be prepared or know the wolf who hides in sheep’s clothing. I fear more lies and deceit are on the horizon from Russia. Sadly, it’s simple to just leave Ukraine alone and go home. Stop this war now!

  20. If u have to talk, u talk man…if you were willing to talk before and assure that u will not join NATO, then so many people wouldn’t have killed…Now you are responsible for the destruction and loss of lives

  21. Praying for Ukraine 🇺🇦

  22. There had been more than enough words exchanged between the adversaries, enough talks, that hadn't led to anything other than destruction and determination on both parties on their own extreme positions of punishing each other, you bark at me, I bite you.

  23. If Biden announced NATO Eastern Enlargement stopped, then this war can be stopped right away!

  24. His eyes in the thumbnail shows how he probably have not slept in a long time.

  25. The face to face talk will end in the Ukrainian president dead.

  26. The only way for you sir is to surrender now to putin. Then talk things out. Stop the war in this way, is the only way.

  27. Engagement is the best solution as long as both parties subscribe to mutual respect . It will not go down well if any party is reading a script from a 3rd party ……

  28. This dude is a Clown, everyday on the news talking nonsense. I hope they find him soon

  29. Zelensky is an actor and therefore enjoys media attention. He is only playing Delay tactics to come to a conclusion that he will eventually have to accept the neutrality status.

    Each day a life is lost but none of his children is on the Frontline neither himself. All of them hiding in safe bunkers.

  30. Never give up on Diplomacy.

  31. Stay strong !!! God and the world are with you

  32. Listen, Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, open up right now all the crimes America and South korea and Japan and England and Jews have been doing to JESUS, me and my family 24/7 under the National Security Law for over 29 years!

    We will mobilize all media, the Internet, and TV and radio stations to make it public, and also make it public at the United Nations!

    Criminals impersonate humans and commit heinous and cruel crimes. They must be killed more brutally. To punish them, all nuclear and chemical weapons as well as frequency weapons and all cruel weapons are permitted.

    러시아 대통령 Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin은 들어라, 지금 당장 미국과 한국 그리고 일본과 영국 그리고 유태인들이 29년이 넘게 예수님과 나 그리고 나의 가족들에게 국가보안법으로 24시간 저지르고 있는 모든 범행들을 공개를 하여라!

    모든 매체와 인터넷 그리고 TV와 라디오 방송국들을 동원을 하여서 공개를 할 것이며 UN에서도 공개를 하여라!

    범죄자들이 사람의 흉내를 내며 가증스럽게 잔인한 범행을 저지르고 있다. 그것들은 더 잔인하게 죽여야만 한다. 그것들을 처벌을 하기 위해서 모든 핵 무기와 생화학 무기 또한 그 외에 주파수 무기와 모든 잔인한 무기도 허용한다.

  33. Putin warns everyone how mad he was again NATO. But look at what he's doing now. pray for innocent people in Ukraine.

  34. It stinks that Zelensky has gotten to the point he has to talk to Putin to save the lives of his citizens. Yes, the world is helping as best we can and that is good for Ukraine. Hope that the US can find ways of getting both military aide and materials to the invaded country and that humanitarian aide will not be far behind.

  35. I feel sad for INNOCENT Ukrainians!
    Obviously, the president is an actor, NATO is the director, USA producer, Russia the villain.

  36. Our father God is with you President of Ukraine God is watching for Ukrainian people. God is in your side. Praying for all your safety and your people. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  37. The blue eyed blonde haired devils are fighting the mix breed you know brown eyes fluffy hair eyes anything other than blue or anything other than blonde although you all are the same people or are you why you fight yourself

  38. Putin would not listen-all he wants is the land, and it's a Trap for Zelenskyy to go

  39. This is a man who undeniably meets people at their level eye to eye. The world needs more leaders like this. Bravo, well done.

  40. zelenski welcome to gulag

  41. The propaganda intensifies
