“It is not possible to take decisions on how to end the war in Ukraine without Ukraine, and no conditions can be imposed,” Zelinski said during a visit to Türkiye on Tuesday. “We were not invited to this Russian -American meeting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was a surprise to us, and I think for many others as well.”
European and NATO Leaders also urged Trump not to leave Europe in the cold during negotiations.
But on Tuesday, Trump rejected fears, saying he believed he alone could end the war of Russia.
“I think I have the ability to end this war,” Trump told reporters in Mar Lago after the meeting between us and Russian officials.

He kills their people, and I think they should make peace. I said this was not a good war to go to it, and I think they should make peace. This is what I think.”
Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kelog, a special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said on Saturday, when he was asked whether European countries would get a seat at the negotiating table: “I think this will not happen … There were many people on the table that they really did not have the ability to carry out a kind of peace and failed miserably. We will not go to this path.”
The Ukrainian legislator told Olexi Gun Charinco Newsweek: “Europe should be on the table. It is related to European security. The United States has done a lot to support us, and we are very grateful – but Europe has also done a lot, and they deserve this place.”

This requires a strong foreign policy and pressure on Putin, who started this war and is now expanding it worldwide. With Europe, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States, and the states United, the United States, the United States, and the United States.
