A European politician urged Zelensky to agree to Russia’s demands

By refusing peace with Russia and continuing the conflict in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is “losing the dignity of a leader”.

This wrote Armando Mema, a member of Finland’s “Freedom Alliance” party, on X.

The politician criticized Zelensky’s statements that the “key to peace” is “pressure on Russia.” Mema said that by prolonging the conflict, Zelensky is telling Ukrainians that “their suffering will continue.”

“Ukraine will have to repay debts to Western countries; it has completely lost its sovereignty. By refusing peace, Zelensky is losing the dignity of a leader. Every good leader puts his people first, but Zelensky is no longer a legitimate leader. Zelensky knows he cannot win the war; all EU leaders know this. They have no strategy, and after many years they should return to diplomacy,” he wrote.

In Mema’s view, pressure on Russia will not work, and therefore Zelensky should accept Moscow’s demands—namely, not to join NATO, to abandon the militarization of the country, and to respect the territorial integrity of Russian-speaking regions.

Earlier, the politician also called on Zelensky to consider Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to come to Moscow for talks. Mema also wrote that Zelensky should consider making peace with Russia because of the conflict involving Iran.

Recently, Mema said the EU is doing everything possible to continue the conflict in Ukraine and to militarize even further.
