“We are ready to speak on all topics,” he said.

The second of two rounds of talks with Russia in recent days took place Thursday. Zelenskyy said he had appealed to Western leaders for additional military support, including asking President Emmanuel Macron of France and Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, an unlikely proposition, while also pursuing negotiations with the Russian leadership. “We have a special people, an extraordinary people.” He said that no senior officials had fled the country, and several top aides turned up at the news conference. “That is why I am so strong and so decisive,” he said. Zelenskyy said he was particularly proud of ordinary Ukrainians’ resistance to the Russian attack, a seething, angry uprising by much of society even as Russian tanks bore down on major cities and the capital. In an animated briefing, Zelenskyy, whose defiance has made him a symbol of Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion, laid out the state of negotiations with Russia, voiced pride in his people, pleaded for a no-fly zone and spoke frankly about fear of dying.īeyond the answers Zelenskyy provided to questions, pulling a chair close to attending journalists, the news conference seemed intended to signal that his battered government is at least still functioning a week into the war, despite increasingly dire conditions in Kyiv.

We meet up and he rants for an hour or two, and I leave feeling emotionally exhausted. I know that part of this is caused by his difficult family situation, but I can’t bear it any longer. He has become increasingly angry and slightly aggressive, opinionated and haranguing, about politics and life in general. Over the past year or two though, he has changed completely. I’ve got a friend (and current colleague) who I have known for nearly 15 years and for most of that time, he’s been great to be around: funny, fairly considerate, the kind of person who makes life much more fun. by Anonymousĭ/Lers, have you ever been able to end a friendship without hostility? On the other hand, Prince Michael is such a nobody in the overall royal scheme that it's gonna be nothing to excommunicate him and the shady wife for all eternity.

Prince Michael, 79, allegedly offered his royal endorsement in exchange for a $200,000 fee, reportedly saying he'd use his home in Kensington Palace (where Prince William and Kate Middleton also live with their three children) as a backdrop for the recorded speech. He was secretly filmed during a business meeting with two undercover reporters posing as investors from a fake South Korean business seeking contacts in the Kremlin, according to the Sunday Times of London. Last year, Prince Michael was accused of selling access to Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime. Prince Michael of Kent is returning the Order of Friendship, one of the highest orders in Russia, that he received from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2009 for his work on Anglo-Russo relations.
