US President Donald Trump has confirmed he will begin negotiations with Russia on ending the war in Ukraine.
However, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the US against making a deal- without the involvement of Kyiv and other European allies.
"Today it's important that everything does not go according to Putin's plan, in which he wants to do everything to make his negotiations bilateral [with the US]," Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“We cannot accept it, as an independent country, any agreements [made] without us. I articulate this very clearly to our partners — any bilateral negotiations about Ukraine, not on other topics, but any bilateral talks about Ukraine without us — we will not accept.”
