“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.

          U.S. President George Bush today signed into law the American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002, which is intended to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the International Criminal Court (ICC). The new law authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the court, which is located in The Hague. This provision, dubbed the “Hague invasion clause,” has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Netherlands.

              It is very big, white like the White House, but better. It is made from white marble. Looks great on the bank of the river. All for the cheap price of 50000 USD. If you would like we can ship it to you, shipping included. But you have to take care of the tariff. Whatever it might be when it reaches your shore. /s

              On serious note do you think everyone deserve human rights. Or are you a White Christian Nationalist and are of the opinion only whites deserve it. Once all the brown people are deported, blacks are made slaves again will you reach the

              golden age of human rights.

              Because that is what you Baby Emperor with no clothes is doing.
