President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday said Ukraine must be involved in peace talks proposed by Europe and the United States towards ending his country’s war with Russia.
Zelenskiy, at a joint news conference with Moldovan President Maia Sandu, said Ukraine also needed to be involved in any talks about ending the war for such negotiations to have any meaningful impact.
“As for what the set-up of the talks will be: Ukraine, I really hope Ukraine will be there, America, Europe and the Russians.
“Yes, I would really want that Europe would take part, because we will be members of the European Union,” Zelenskiy said.
Zelenskiy said he believed that the new US President Donald Trump could end the war, but that he would only be able to do so if he involved Ukraine in the talks.
“He can only do this with Ukraine, otherwise it will not work. Because Russia does not want to end the war, while Ukraine wants to end it,” he added.
