“Cigars on Me”: Former Ukrainian FM Kuleba Invites Rogan to Discuss Ukraine After Recent Criticism

Ukraine’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, responded to the American podcaster and comedian, Joe Rogan, proposing to engage in dialogue.

“Hi @joerogan, freaking at Ukrainians without giving them a chance to speak isn’t a fair fight. If you ever feel like having a real conversation, let’s sit down and chat about anything Ukraine-related – dragons included. You know your stuff, I know mine. Cigars on me,” wrote Kuleba on his official X account.

Previously, on November 22, Rogan criticized outgoing US President Joe Biden for approving Ukraine’s deployment of long-range weapons against military targets in Russia, as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for employing them.

“Zelenskyy says Putin is terrified. Fuck you, man. Fuck you people. You people are about to start World War III,” Rogan said. “Fucking insanity because those intercontinental ballistic missiles can have nukes on them. This didn’t, but if it does the whole world changes and it changes because the military-industrial complex and it changes because of the money that’s going to Ukraine. It changes because the outgoing president, or whoever the fuck is actually running the country, has decided to do something fucking insane.”

Additionally, on November 25, former Ukrainian boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko called out Rogan for repeating “Russian propaganda” and offered to join his podcast for an open discussion on the matter.
