Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that Ukraine will not accept any peace agreements reached without its participation, indirectly addressing US President Donald Trump's efforts to broker a peace between Ukraine and Russia. Zelenskiy also urged Europe to establish its own armed forces, emphasizing that Ukraine's security requires collective action.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday said his country would never accept any peace deals reached without its involvement. This is an implicit message to US President Donald Trump as he strives to end the war with Russia.
'Ukraine will never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement. And the same rule should apply to all of Europe,' he said. The Ukrainian leader spoke after Trump held a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone this week, the first between US and Russian leaders since Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskiy said he and Putin are expected to meet in the future, probably in Saudi Arabia.
