Zelensky
says excluding Ukraine from US-Russia talks about war is ‘very dangerous’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that excluding his country from talks between the U.S. and Russia about the war in Ukraine would be “very dangerous” and asked for more discussions between Kyiv and Washington to develop a plan for a ceasefire.
He said in an Associated Press interview published Saturday, "They may have their own relations, but talking about Ukraine without us — it is dangerous for everyone." Zelensky issued this assessment the day after the Trump White House confirmed that discussions at a "general level" are happening with Moscow and that an in-person meeting between presidents will take place 'soon'.
Zelensky did express openness to eventually entering negotiations with Putin, despite current active legislation which forbids entering direct communication with Moscow.
But he emphasized Trump and Kiev should be on the same page first. "I believe that, first and foremost, we hold a meeting with him, and that is important. And that is, by the way, something that everyone in Europe wants," Zelensky said.
