Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

    Yeah Nazis elected a Jewish man president. You truly do believe such bullshit.

    In the meantime the real Nazis were in an alliance with Russia until the Russians were betrayed.

      The USA was fine to let the Nazis take over Europe until Japan invaded Pearl Harbour. What’s your point?

        The US played the same role towards the UK as it is playing now towards Ukraine - providing aid - until Pearl Harbor.
