Zelenskiy Calls on Putin to Sit Down at a Normal Sized Table With Him

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to sit down for talks while urging the West to offer stronger military assistance to Ukraine as it fights Russian invasion.

In a sarcastic reference to a long table Putin used in recent meetings with foreign leaders and Russian officials, Zelenskyy said: "Sit down with me to negotiate, just not at 30 meters," adding "I don't bite. What are you afraid of?"

Zelenskyy said that prospects for another round of talks between Russian and Ukrainian negotiations don't seem promising, but emphasized the need to negotiate, adding that "any words are more important than shots."

He said the world was too slow to offer support for Ukraine and prodded Western leaders to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine to deny access to the Russian warplanes. The U.S. and NATO allies have ruled out the move that would directly pit Russian and Western militaries.

Zelenskyy says that if the West remains reluctant to declare a no-fly zone over Ukraine, it should at least provide Kyiv with warplanes.

Little man needs big table to go with his Napoleon complex.

West and USA lured this silly person into the unnecessary war.

"I am a Normal Man..." 
"What are you afraid of?"
That is exactly what dictators are afraid of.

Didn't Putin already tell him what he wants? Ukraine to be neutral, not join NATO, recognize the independence of the other two places and forget about Crimea. Idk but it sounds somewhat reasonable.

[Hydralisk]

He wants to talk...that should of been done years ago

[waynefee]

He would have to get permission first and a prepared script.

[BestFrenchLessons]

He backed out of the peace deal. Zelensky did

[bdubb]

Ukraine should just surrender. Less loss of life. Seems foolish to fight the inevitable. I don't get it.

[wompstopm]

the bags on his eyes and the unshaven beard say that he desperately wants this war to stop

" I dont bite.... unless you're having a problem with you wife.Our room is available"

[Magickacademy]

Divorcing couples also prefer to set at opposite ends of a table. Normal.

"I am a normal man." I am in awe of this man's humility and the lengths he is willing to go to to protect his nation's people.

[arsimckhoi]

these are things a comedian notices because they can identify the absurd

[jaspreetsingh-ztog]

you destroyed ur own country...nato provoked u against russia

[justaway_of_the_samurai]

He is complaining about the size of the table, but I imagine it was Zelenskiy who chose to sit at the opposite side of the table when he entered the room.

Putin should show some courage and show up at the front! Putin can only hide in his compound for so long until the Russian people smell his fear. Time for a road trip Mr Putin?
