Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

According to Zelensky, the U.S. has the power to bring the war to an end but only by exerting stronger pressure on Putin through sanctions and supplies of advanced weapons to Ukraine.

Ukraine has a chance to end the war with Russia before the U.S. midterm elections in November, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Sky News published on Feb. 27.

"Now I think that we have a chance... it depends on these months, if we will have a chance to finish the war before autumn," the president said.

"Before elections, important, influential, elections in the United States. If it will be possible to achieve a peace... now we have this window."

The comments come amid ongoing U.S.-mediated efforts to broker peace between Kyiv and Moscow, which have yet to achieve a breakthrough on ceasefire and territorial issues.

I like the way he is playing the cards he doesn't have, according to Trump. Putin is unlikely to want a peace agreement, so basically Z is telling Trump to squeeze the life blood out of him for political gain in the USA. Ukraine doesn't have to give 50% of its mineral resources, or a square inch of territory for this all to work out.
