Zelensky says Ukraine will not accept US-Russia peace deal without Kyiv’s involvement
From CNN’s Svitlana Vlasova and Christian Edwards
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine will not accept a peace deal struck between the United States and Russia without Kyiv’s involvement.
“As an independent country we simply cannot accept any agreements without us. And I articulate this very clearly to our partners. We will not accept any bilateral negotiations on Ukraine without us,” Zelensky said Thursday during a visit to a nuclear power plant in western Ukraine.
His comments came a day after US President Donald Trump spoke on the phone with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, before he also held a call with Zelensky.
Zelensky said that the fact that Trump spoke to Putin first was “not pleasant.”
He added that talks with Russia should take place only after “a plan to stop Putin has been worked out.”
