Exclusive interview with Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s ex-foreign minister

[@Nico-uit-brabant]

Spot on, great interview.

[@johncampbell1243]

Kuleba is an intelligent, clear communicator. I really appreciate his comments and wish he would speak more often to outlets that I follow. Thanks for this terrific post.

For some reason, people can't stop playing politics. And every movie has to have a big fist fight near the end. And the "games" in Rome's Coliseum continued after conversion to Christianity.

[@michel3691]

Stay united! 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Yes! Beginning at about 34:00 the true genius of Kuleba emerges with regard to accepting less than full sovereignty. Allowing pieces of land to be taken sets the stage for more being taken. Trump says the land is rubble and that is correct. But giving land in exchange for a temporary peace is accepting the process of being eaten.

@ Always the same. The uneducated who failed to realize how wars would end - attack those who foretold it! Then, what is even worse, instead of learning from their mistakes, they repeat them! Vietnam taught us a valuable lesson. Those lessons were applied to the Iraq I War which was a total victory. But then hubris overtook us giving us the failures of Afghanistan, Iraq II and now Ukraine. Wars where the lessons of Vietnam were not even considered. Wars of Idealism unbalanced by Realism. Wise men such as Kissinger warned against such wars. But the Neoconservatives, blinded byIdeology, dove head first into the abyss.

No negotiating with Russia. Ukraine needs to be victorious and contain Putin's imperialistic drives, with whatever maximal support can be obtained from Western allies- including the USA. 💪🇺🇦

[@18_rabbit]

yes! And 'can be obtained' is actually up to us, as to whether we're willing to start understanding economics and finance of our own Western nations (especially here in the U.S. where the average person has very little understanding of the economics and finance of how our government and investment systems work) and have false ideas about austerity, which in nations like the U.S. is nonsensical at times like now.

Whoever considers the separation of Ukraine in two parts, should think of the border between the two parts of Germany between 1945-1989 with barbed wire, land mines, watchtowers and people shot at, if they tried to flee to the free west. - and Germany started the war and lost it. - would Russia pay reparations with the natural resources stolen in Ukraine ? the division of Ukraine isn’t an option!

Mr. Kuleba is a brilliant defender of Ukraine. He can make such a difference speaking about Ukraine and where Ukrainians want to be in the free world. Hopefully, after the war has been won he will decide to run for president. He would be such a smart and fare president.

[@kj1483]

Dmytro Kuleba resigned from his position as Ukraine's foreign minister following an announcement from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that a cabinet reshuffle was imminent During the war, Kuleba has been second only to Zelenskyy in carrying Ukraine's message and needs to an international audience, whether through social media posts or meetings with foreign dignitaries. Kuleba became the highest-ranking Ukrainian official to visit China since Russia's full-scale invasion started in February 2022. Since taking office in 2020, Kuleba has been a key figure in Ukraine's efforts to fight off Russia's full-scale invasion, travelling across the world to secure allies and mobilise support from the country's international partners

[@CyborgZeta]

Mr. Kuleba is a smart man. I respect him.

[@R.Iamondi]

I hope more people can listen to this interview.

[@remcoasselbergs3298]

Fully agree with mr. Kouleba. Russia will not be different as they were the last 500 years. It is still an imperial serfdom. The only way it changes is 1. Ukraine wins this war outright 1991 borders. 2. Russia is not called russia, but moscovites (sorry novgorod) and 3, work from there what Moscovite country is.

[@petrasmiles1029]

Georgia's politician: Russia will not change, therefore we need to change ourselves. Mexican ex president: We will not change US, we need to understand where is our place on a map and therefore we will not seek any military alliances. You: we have a dream that 100% will not happen.

She should have asked " do you think we are in a better position today or should we have accepted the negotiations in Istanbhul in 2022 ? " . Kuleba : ( correct political answer ) " even though we have now lost territories and are still losing on a daily basis , at least we tried to fight back , we were not cowards " . Reporter " but do you think russia asking for neutrality , no nato membership and no military built up was asking for too much ? so much that thousands of human lives need to be lost , and yet we are now back to square one ? " Kuleba : " well if we didnt try , we wouldnt know that we are now back to square 1 right ? and dont forget that we have now weakened russia .

Mr. Kuleba, do you have a shovel?

[@grisall]

Russia is only gaining a little land - temporarily. Russia is losing thousands and thousands of people, a massive amount of oil and gas infrastructure - some of it irreplaceable, Russia's economy is all but destroyed. True Russian inflation rate is more than 20%. To get a grip on that level of inflation it needs interest rates of 50% or more. And on and on. The odds of a collapse are much greater for Russia than Ukraine if western allies hang in there. That isn't Ukraine losing.

[@majungasaurusaaaa]

How are you gonna market that to the western tax payer? "Fund UA until the RF internally collapses". And how long would that take? How much are we gonna have to spend? What are the risks of the RF collapsing with its 6000 nukes? As for now, no one is gonna win an election saying "We're gonna fund UA indefinitely to fight an expensive and bloody war of attrition with no clear end in sight".
