Zelenskyy is accepting defeat

In an interview with Sky News, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently said Ukraine may have to cede territory. He recognizes Trump may want him to cede Kharkov, Donbass, Kherson, Crimea, and is preparing for it. He said he will be willing to do this if the rest of Ukraine can join NATO. This part is irrelevant, as Zelenskyy knows the rest of Ukraine cannot join NATO. He is only saying this to make it sound better to Ukrainians still willing to fight. His comments to Sky News reveal a willingness to make a peace deal which involves ceding territory. With or without Trump, Ukraine is losing and Zelenskyy knows this.

For those interested, Kharkov is the second-largest city in Ukraine.

Not really he still wants NATO on Ukrainian soil which in large part was the reason for this war to begin with.

@hippyjoe1955 Zelenskyy can see the writing on the wall. US will have different leadership in January and he will have to give up on NATO membership if he wants to stay alive.

@SW-User Who knows what Trump will do. Look at his advisers. I don't trust any of them
