Zelensky warns that negotiations between the U.S. and Russia without Ukraine's involvement pose risks for everyone.

According to Ukrinform, the President of Ukraine stated this in an interview with AP.

“The US and Russia can have their own relations, but discussions about Ukraine without us are very dangerous for everyone,” he emphasized.

Zelensky noted that his team is in contact with the new US administration.

“First of all, we need to hold a meeting with him (Trump – ed.). By the way, this is also what everyone in Europe wants,” remarked the President of Ukraine, referring to the “shared vision of a swift end to the war.”

In the opinion of the Ukrainian leader, Trump could bring Putin to the negotiating table by threatening him with sanctions against the Russian energy sector while continuing to support Ukraine’s defense capabilities. “These are the fastest and most important steps,” Zelensky is convinced.

As reported by Ukrinform, Trump stated on Saturday that his administration is already having very serious discussions with Russia regarding its war in Ukraine, and together with Putin, they may soon take important steps to end the hot phase of the conflict.
