Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hopes that Europe and the United States will participate in possible talks to end the war with Russia, Reuters reported, citing his remarks to journalists earlier today, BTA reported.
At a joint press conference with Moldovan President Maia Sandu, Zelensky said that Ukraine should also participate in the talks to end the war for them to have any significant impact.
"As for how the negotiations will be organized: Ukraine, I really hope that Ukraine will participate, America, Europe and the Russians", Zelensky said, shortly after specifying that no framework has yet been established.
"Yes, I would really like Europe to participate, because we will be members of the European Union", the Ukrainian stressed president.
Zelensky said he believes that new US President Donald Trump can end the war, but that he will only be able to do so if he includes Ukraine in the negotiations. "He can only do this with Ukraine, otherwise it will not work. Because Russia does not want to end the war, while Ukraine does," he added.
