“Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier,” Zelenskyy said in a Telegram message early Saturday.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy defiantly declared Saturday that his countrymen “will not give their land to occupiers,” after Donald Trump suggested that a peace deal would include some “swapping” of territories with Russia.

“The answer to Ukraine’s territorial question is already in the constitution of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said in a message on Telegram early Saturday. “No one will and no one can deviate from it. Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.”

His comments came after Trump announced on Truth Social that a long-awaited meeting with Vladimir Putin had been scheduled for next Friday in Alaska.

    Trump talked about swapping territories, but he never said Ukraine. He’s talking about America. He’s going to give Alaska to Russia, and Russia is going to give us Canada, and maybe Greenland.

    Trump will look at the fact that Canada is much bigger than Alaska, so he wins. It won’t occur to him that Canada isn’t Russia’s to give away, nor does Alaska belong to Trump to give away.

    Trump will make announcement like he’s the greatest deal maker in history, American citizens will be outraged, and Putin will just laugh and laugh…

      Given how many USians repeated their trump’s rhetoric about Canada becoming the 51st state, I don’t think most of his flock would object.

      This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Therefore, I expect to see it happen now. Fuck this timeline…

        Exactly. I’m not disputing how stupid it is, only that with HitlerPig, an outcome as ludicrous as this is actually possible.

        I really love that the appropriate response to it is “Oh, God. Please make it not happen” instead of laughing at the ridiculous idea.
