Regarding the election I think this is a perfect time for Zelensky and the Ukrainian parliament to put Trumps policies in to effect.

1 - the President and all other politicians must be of Ukrainian birth with both parents born and raised in Ukraine.

2 - no one can vote in any Ukrainian election, Federal, Oblast and municipal unless they are of Ukrainian birth with both parents born and raised in Ukraine.

Add to that one Australian Federal Constitutional requirement - No allegiance to any other country - so that dual passport holders beholden to Putin or Trump are prevented from standing as candidates,

'US backstop' Ukraine's only defence against Russia says EU leaders

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said "a US security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again".

"The leaders from the EU discussed the war in Ukraine, and that without a "US backstop" there is no chance for peace."

They are out of their little pea brained minds.

So long as the "Piece" talks are strictly between wildly expansionist leaders Trump and Putin and both the Ukrainians and Europeans are prohibited from being involved this is all about how the US and Russia will carve up Ukraine and each totally own and control their territories to their mutual benefit.

These discussions are between the two most expansionist leaders since WW2. Trumps stated plans plans for Gaza, Greenland, Panama and hinted plans for Canada and Mexico make Putins expansion plans look very tame.

Recent reports clearly show that to think that the US will provide a backstop against Russia is fallacious at best and totally delusional in reality.

We're reliving Yalta Feb 1945, where the US and USSR (and an impotent UK) carved up Eastern Europe without consulting its inhabitants. Today, almost eighty years to the date, in 2025 we have the US and Russia (and an impotent EU) about to do the same to Ukraine (and likely Georgia and Moldova).

The difference is that Ukraine is not out of the game like Poland was.

We'll have to wait and see, but I'm guessing that if Washington tries to give concessions to Moscow, Ukraine will cut the U.S. out of any future bids when it comes time to rebuild.

Also, if Russia is allowed to keep the land it has stolen, give it with the expressed condition that all the land, buildings and personal property aquired from Ukrainians be compensated in cash for at fair market value as of January 2022.
 
Just a curious question no harm intended. Was wondering if the powers at be are using that reasoning to not have him at the initial talks between the powers.

Ukraine's constitution doesn't allow elections during times of martial law so Zelensky remains president until such time as they can be held.

In other words, as long as Russia maintains it's unlawful occupation of parts of Ukraine Zelensky remains the legitimate president. And while some rulers may declare an emergency to try and retain power I think everyone here can agree that this is a pretty legitimate state of emergency.

Thank you for the clarification.
