Here’s my conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa). It was an intense and heartfelt conversation, my goal for which was to do my small part in pushing for peace.

  2. Doubt he asked any difficult questions, but I will hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

  5. Is the translation “slap on the wrist” one minute into the interview accurate?

  6. These “pacifist” cretins only serve ruzzian propaganda even if they have good intentions. Ruzzia has no intention to make peace.

  7. Push for peace in Moscow then. Ukraine isn’t the one perpetuating the war

  8. Had an LLM summarize the interview.

    Fridman asks no new questions, and receives no new answers.

    Zelenskyy *does* [ask Fridman if he talks with Putin](https://youtu.be/u321m25rKXc?t=4980). Lex avoids the question.. repeatedly, then says he hasn’t. But it seems clear he’s been talking with the Kremlin.

    Many of Fridman’s questions reflect his naivete. Fridman also regurgitates a number of Russian talking points.

    For those who are familiar with Zenenskyy and Ukraine’s positions on the issues, recommend not wasting 3 hours watching this.

  9. “Pushing for peace” by talking to the one being attacked… What an asshole.

  10. The uploader of the video on Youtube can delete comments freely. There was a comment about the translation not being fair to Zelensky. It was something about “slap on the hands” being translated “slap on the wrists”. The comment was getting closer to 1k likes.

    When I refreshed the page the comment had been deleted.

  11. Fridman kept repeating “I have a dream”, seemingly more interested in his dreams than reality.

  12. I am saving 3 hours.

    What is there to discuss? Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, kills civilian targets, commits war crimes and needs to fuckoff and die somewhere in the cold.

    There can be no discussion or trying to convince people of Ukraine trying to do anything other than pushing the Nazi Russians off their territory.

    This idiot is acting ignorant but has a hidden agenda to promote Russian views while trying to promote himself as a peacemaker and making money from it.

    Fucking Wanker

  13. Zelensky is getting good at counter Russian disinformation talking points

  14. My god, Lex got manhandled in this interview.

    He came off as a pretentious and sheltered little boy with absolutely zero contact with the real world.

    But I have to respect his open display of such romaticized, flawed and deeply naive view of putin and russia, but it was as painful as watching a teen say with absolute conviction that they will end all wars and hunger and bad stuff by making everyone just get together and sort out our differences…

    It was clear Zelensky got annoyed by Lex’s dumb takes and absolute ignorance, but he handled it well and with charm I must say.

  15. Man.. Zelensky is put in such a difficult position. He needs Trump… and Feelon, so he must do what he must for his country.

    Him and we can only hope, that Ukraine will not be executed and left dead by the US.

  16. The only push for peace in THIS case IS for aggressor to stop invading Ukraine and fuck off back to its territory. It’s not a rocket science

  17. Holy shit Lex is truly a Russian asset, I’ll never listen to another price of media with him again. The question is why is he so against Ukraine? I guess the Trump Musk effect

  18. Why are so many Americans pushing Ukraine for peace? When’s the last time one of these people – Rogan, Musk, Trump etc – pushed Russia for peace. Not once have I heard one of these guys in the right wing manosophere push for Russia to withdraw or cause peace.

  19. Russian bots are strong in the YouTube comment section.

  21. Interesting that Merkel blocked Ukraine joining Nato. If Ukraine would have been allowed into Nato at the time this war might not have started? Republicans with Busch was all for Ukraine joining Nato
