The 27th day of the Russian-Ukrainian war has become the focus of global attention. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on the evening of the 21st that he was ready to discuss Ukraine’s commitment not to join NATO in exchange for a Russian ceasefire, the withdrawal of troops and security guarantees for Ukraine. The news caused heated discussions among Taiwanese netizens, and many people criticized it. Since the final result was like this, then the people should not have been led to the war in the first place, and it was “a waste of time” to cause so many casualties.
Zelensky said he was ready to discuss Ukraine’s commitment not to join NATO in exchange for a Russian ceasefire, the withdrawal of troops and security guarantees for Ukraine, according to the Associated Press.
“It’s a compromise for everyone, for the West, which doesn’t know whether to allow Ukraine to join NATO, Ukraine, which wants more security, and Russia, which doesn’t want NATO to expand further,” Zelensky said. Calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin for a direct summit, Zelensky said he might not understand whether Russia wanted a truce without face-to-face talks.
Zelensky’s remarks sparked heated discussions among Taiwanese netizens, who poured into “Zhongshi News” and Facebook-related links to leave messages: “So many people died to get to today’s conclusion?” “It was a waste of time”, “Today finally Wake up, people who are not dead can see the sun tomorrow”, “Why should the people die for the incompetence of politicians?”
