Zelenskyy Warns Against Excluding Ukraine from U.S.-Russia War Talks

Ukrainian President Pushes for Direct Involvement in Peace Negotiations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that excluding Ukraine from U.S.-Russia discussions on ending the war would be “very dangerous” and could lead to unfavorable outcomes. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Zelenskyy emphasized the need for direct involvement in peace negotiations and called for increased engagement between Kyiv and Washington to develop a concrete plan for a ceasefire.

Key Highlights from Zelenskyy’s Interview

1. Russia Rejects Ceasefire Talks

Zelenskyy stated that Russia is unwilling to negotiate a ceasefire or discuss any compromises—viewing such talks as a sign of weakness.
With Russian forces currently advancing on the battlefield, Moscow sees concessions as a defeat.

2. Trump’s Potential Role in Peace Talks

Zelenskyy believes that President Donald Trump could pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into talks through:
Strong sanctions on Russia’s energy and banking sectors
Continued military support for Ukraine
“These are the closest and most important steps,” Zelenskyy said.

3. Concern Over U.S.-Russia Talks Without Ukraine

On Friday, Trump said American and Russian officials were already in talks to end the war, but he did not provide details.
Zelenskyy responded, warning:
“They may have their own relations, but talking about Ukraine without us—it is dangerous for everyone.”
While Ukraine’s team has been in contact with the Trump administration, discussions have remained at a general level. Zelenskyy expects in-person meetings soon.

4. War at a Crossroads: Ukraine’s Challenges & Future Risks

Nearly three years into the war, Ukraine faces severe manpower shortages and daily Russian attacks on cities and infrastructure.
Millions of Ukrainians remain displaced, and 20% of Ukrainian territory is under Russian control.
Moscow is actively erasing Ukrainian identity in occupied regions.
With Trump back in the White House, Ukraine’s relationship with its biggest ally—the U.S.—is at a critical turning point.

5. U.S. Foreign Policy Shifts & Delayed Meetings

During Trump’s campaign, he and Zelenskyy agreed to meet if Trump won to discuss ending the war.
However, a visit from Trump’s Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, was postponed for legal reasons.
This delay was followed by a sudden freeze on U.S. foreign aid, which impacted Ukrainian projects.
“A meeting with Trump is crucial,” Zelenskyy said, noting that European leaders also support such talks.

6. The Path to Negotiations: Who Should Be at the Table?

Zelenskyy envisions a negotiation format including:
United States
Ukraine
Russia
European Union (to ensure fairness and effectiveness)

However, he admitted:
“How will it turn out? I don’t know.”

7. Security Guarantees: Ukraine’s NATO Membership & Military Support

Zelenskyy insists on Ukraine joining NATO, arguing:
“NATO membership is the cheapest security guarantee for everyone.”
He sees NATO entry as a win for Trump, framing it as:
A strong geopolitical move
A signal that the U.S., not Russia, decides who joins NATO
Ukraine’s 800,000-strong army could strengthen NATO, especially if Trump reduces U.S. overseas troop deployments.

Alternative security guarantees must include:
Military aid from the U.S. & Europe
Investment in Ukraine’s defense industry

8. European Troop Deployment: A Questionable Strategy?

France has proposed sending European forces to Ukraine to deter Russian aggression.
Zelenskyy remains skeptical, questioning:
Who would be in charge?
What would they do if Russia launched attacks?
How would their mandate be defined?

Zelenskyy discussed these concerns with both French President Emmanuel Macron and Trump, but no clear answers have emerged.

9. Zelenskyy Challenges U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently claimed that the war has set Ukraine back by 100 years.
Zelenskyy responded by inviting Rubio to visit Ukraine:
“He needs to see what Russia has done and what the Ukrainian people have achieved for global security.”

10. The Road Ahead: Uncertainty & High Stakes

As the war continues, Zelenskyy seeks direct engagement with Trump to:
Secure U.S. support
Shape future peace negotiations
Ensure Ukraine isn’t sidelined in U.S.-Russia talks

Without firm security guarantees, Zelenskyy warns that any ceasefire could lead to future Russian aggression.

With the situation evolving rapidly, the next steps from Washington and Moscow will determine the fate of Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.
