What happened

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine needs unity and should not yield to Vladimir Putin or Russia after MP Oleksii Honcharenko called for negotiations.

Zelenskyy said Honcharenko’s messages were inappropriate, though protected by free speech, and said Ukrainians could remain calm because those lawmakers do not control negotiations.

He said unity also means responsibility, especially for elected representatives, and warned against spreading panic because Russia seeks chaos.

Honcharenko wrote on 2 October that Ukraine was losing the war and urged efforts to seek peace and improve its position.

In a 4 October column, Honcharenko said neither Ukraine nor Russia could win and called for an agreement, not capitulation.

“We should not spread panic. There are already enough challenges and strikes. Nobody needs chaos. That is what Russia is seeking.”
