Zelenskyy Asserts Ukraine Must Be Involved in US-Russia Peace Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy voiced strong opposition to the ongoing discussions between the US and Russia regarding a potential peace deal to end the conflict in Ukraine, emphasizing that Ukraine cannot accept any agreements made without its involvement. As talks between US and Russian officials continue, Zelenskyy has reiterated that any resolution must include Ukraine and warned against sidelining Kyiv in negotiations. He expressed concern about the potential implications of such discussions, arguing that excluding Ukraine could lead to dangerous outcomes. Zelenskyy insists that security guarantees for Ukraine are critical and has accused US officials of making statements favorable to Putin. His comments come amid mixed signals from the US administration and aim to secure a role for Ukraine in shaping any future peace agreement.
