Zelensky draws line in negotiations: We're not giving land to Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that neither he nor his people can accept some of Russia's reported demands for ending its increasingly brutal invasion, which is now entering its fourth week.

Notably, Zelensky said, Ukraine would not be giving any territorial concessions to Russia.

"There are compromises for which we cannot be ready as an independent state," he told CNN host Fareed Zakaria, speaking through an interpreter. "Any compromises related to our territorial integrity and our sovereignty .... [the] Ukrainian people have spoken about it. They have not greeted Russian soldiers with a bunch of flowers; they have greeted them with bravery, and they have greeted them with weapons in their hands."

Zelensky added: “You cannot curry favor with the citizens of another country forcibly.”

According to Turkey's government, which has strong relations with both Ukraine and Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently outlined a series of terms for ending his attack. The most challenging of those terms relate to Ukrainian territory.

BBC News, which reported on Turkey’s phone call with Putin, wrote, "The assumption is that Russia will demand that the Ukrainian government should give up territory in eastern Ukraine." Russia has for years backed an armed rebellion in eastern Ukraine, and before the invasion it formally recognized two breakaway republics there along the Russian border.

In 2014, Russia also invaded and annexed the Crimean peninsula, which was previously controlled by Ukraine. Much of the world — including Ukraine, the U.S. and most of Europe — refused to recognize the territory as part of Russia. The Kremlin is likely seeking this recognition as part of the peace terms as well.

On Sunday, Zelensky said as both a president and citizen of Ukraine, these types of terms are a nonstarter.

"You cannot just demand from Ukraine to recognize some territories as independent republics. These compromises are simply wrong," he said.

Models most common in the military are the T-80U (Ob.219AS) MBT and the T-80UK command variant that is additionally equipped with the Shtora-1 EOCMDAS, additional radio and navigational equipment and the Ainet equipment for remotely detonating HEF rounds.

According to Oryx on March 12:

7 T-90A destroyed

Anti-Russian Railway Workers in Belarus Reportedly Sabotaged All Rail Traffic to Ukraine

"Belarusian railway workers have reportedly cut off all rail connections between their country and Ukraine," reports Germany's public broadcaster DW: Ukrainian railway chief Olexander Kamyshin thanked Belarusian railway workers for this claimed act of sabotage on Saturday. "As of today, I can say there is no rail traffic between Belarus and Ukraine," Kamyshin was quoted as saying by Ukraine's Unian news agency. Kamyshin said that he would not give further details.

Franak Viacorka, advisor to exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, tweeted about the incident and said that it had been confirmed by Belarusian railway workers, while declining to provide details.

Although Russia has moved many of its troops and military equipment into Ukraine through Belarus, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has not committed Belarusian troops to the offensive.
A Ukrainian online newspaper claims that "There is no longer a railway connection between Ukraine and Belarus, so the Russian occupiers will not be able to deliver Russian equipment by rail from Belarus," citing the longer televisied remarks of Ukrainian railway chief Olexander Kamyshin: "I believe that these people will be able to prevent Belarusian Railways from transporting military convoys to Ukraine," Kamyshin added.

"Currently, the railways are out of order", Kamyshin confirmed, "so Russian equipment from Belarus will not be able to be delivered."

Russian journalist who protested war on TV rejects moving to France
“I want to live in Russia. My children want to live in Russia," Marina Ovsyannikova said.

Marina Ovsyannikova, the Russian television producer who defiantly condemned Russia’s war on Ukraine during state evening news, said Sunday that she doesn’t intend to leave the country because she is “a patriot.”

“I’m very grateful to Mr. Macron for his offer, but I have publicly refused to take political asylum in France because I am a patriot,” she said in discussing an offer made by French President Emmanuel Macron on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

“I want to live in Russia. My children want to live in Russia. We had a very comfortable life in Russia. And I don’t want to immigrate and lose another 10 years of my life to assimilate in some other country.”

Boy eats all the propaganda fed to him. In the end will insist everything worked out just the way he wanted.

Nobody ever played this affair on the up and up. Not a one, which is refreshing for a change. State run media CNN figures they're off the hook with the boiler plate "CNN cannot independently verify this Ukrainian information." every-single-time.

Putin won't take the West's bait and the West are setting that bait trap 24/7, like "a bull in a China shop, they really want it."

It's swell when you size us up and we ain't nary better than Putin.

ha, ha.

It burns very nicely too when shot by Javelin, just like the T-90s. But no worries, russian tanks are no big deal so no need to cry about it.
