Volodymyr Zelensky Ukraine will not agree to any peace deal proposed by the US and Russia without its involvement, President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned, after Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin pledged to begin talks to end the war. "We cannot accept it, as an independent country," Zelensky said. The US president had talked of a "good possibility" of ending the war after he and Putin spoke by phone.
Main Idea: Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine will not accept any peace deal made by the US and Russia without Kyiv being part of the talks.
Key Points:
A deal that sidelines Ukraine could prolong the war and keep energy, aid, and defense costs high for US households and taxpayers.
Peace talks could reduce the risk of wider war and lower long-run costs if Ukraine, Russia, and the US reach a real agreement.
