Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Germany and Italy literally did not get rid fascism willingly, they were defeated and this was imposed on them. And being from Germany, I assure you denazification was incredibly half-assed.

Look at it for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SlCLSBr9sW0

They're doing the salute and everything. That salute was introduced by the fascist OUN.

FML... that is indeed the fascist salute.

I know de-nazification was half-assed; I lived in Italy, now I live in Spain, and man, 45 years after the fascist regime was "gone", there are still those opposing the removal of some fascist symbols. They used to argue that "it's too soon", now they're arguing "it's too late, let them be", while there are still people killed by the dictature laying unidentified in some ditch or another.

Guess we'll have to live and see where it all goes.
